Financial Assistance/Sliding Fee Scale Calculator

There should be a tab on every Person Profile that can be edited. Financial assistance or the billing dept can add the percentage(or dollar amount) that was approved to be deducted from the patients balance once in a private pay status and before a statement drops to the patient. There should be an expiration date that can be adjusted so that it does not deduct an amount before an agreement has been signed/after the agreement terms are up. If there is a need for a rebill due to late charges or whatever reason, the adjustment would need taken off manually but Evident should see it is not in a PP status anymore and do the adjustment after all payments from insurance are final. The process for approving the applications would be up to the facility to manage and keep track of. But there is so much manual work when it comes to Charity Care due to Evident not having an option for an automatic deduction. I do not think it should reflect as a charge on reporting and it needs to show that it is an actual adjustment/deduction. Since hospitals are required to stay compliant with 501R, I do not see how there is not already a better and more time efficient function within Evident. Thank you!
