When adding a new Payer in ChiroFusion, you have the ability to specify whether or not you are accepting assignment. By accepting assignment of benefits, the Payer will remit payment directly to you and not the patient. Conversely, if you choose to not accept assignment, the Payer will remit payment directly to the patient. 

 

You can specify assignment for a particular Payer in ChiroFusion in Settings > Add/Edit Insurance Company > Clearinghouse Details. By default, this selection will apply to all patients associated with this Payer and place the "Signature on File" in Box 13 if necessary.

 

Insurance Company Settings:

 

Assignment-Clearinghouse Details-1

Patient Specific Settings: 

When 'Assignment' is checked in the global insurance settings, it will apply to all patients who are covered by that insurance policy. You have the ability to deselect this box for a specific patient if need be.

In Billing For Refiling Claims: 

You can edit this directly in the HCFA Claim tab and it will update all claims pertaining to specific patients.
