How do I terminate patient insurance?

This article explains how to remove insurance from a patient profile.

It is important to terminate old insurance before adding new insurance so you do not have conflicting data on the patient profile. 

 

Step 1:

Navigate to the Primary (or Secondary) Insurance tab of the patient's profile. 

 

Step 2:

Input the termination date in the Termination Date field. This should be a date in the past considering you do not want it to appear on future dates of service. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page & save your changes. This now marks the insurance as inactive and it will no longer pull through to billing.
