Assignment of Benefits is an arrangement by which a patient requests that their health benefit payments be made directly to a designated Provider or Facility. In order for the Provider or Facility to receive the insurance payment, the HCFA 1500 form must indicate that the patient's signature is on file and the Assignment of Benefits field must be selected.

There are two areas in the system where this must be indicated.

1. On the Patients Primary Insurance Page

Assignment-Primary Insurance

2. When setting up the Insurance Company

Assignment-Clearinghouse Details

These settings will ensure that all payments issued by the insurance company are paid to the Provider directly.
