On the Medical Treatment Tab, we suggest tracking the following amounts. It is important for your firm to use these billing amounts consistently across all cases to maintain data accuracy.
Original Bill: The total original bill amount that the provider charged for their services.
Adj./Ins. Write Off: The amount of any adjustments made to the original bill, including any contractual agreements or write-offs. It calculates the adjusted bill amount by subtracting the amount of the adjustments or write-offs from the original bill.
Adjusted Bill: The amount of the bill after it has been adjusted by the client's health insurance.
Insurance Paid: The amount that the Health Insurance paid toward the bill.
Medpay/PIP Paid: The amount that Medpay or PIP paid directly to the provider.
Client Paid: Any amount that the client paid toward the bill (including co-payments and anything out-of-pocket).
Still-Owed: The amount still owed to the provider for the bill.
Paid Plus Owed: The amount that was paid toward the bill plus what the provider is still owed/expected to be paid. In certain states, this is referred to as the Howell Amount in California.
