Setting Up Insurance Schedules

An insurance schedule is a schedule of benefits offered by an insurance plan. You can set up and customize insurance schedules to provide accurate benefits to your patients and ensure precise billing for your practice. AcuityLogic includes a default version of each insurance schedule. For each insurance plan that your office uses, make sure that the receivable for each item type is correct, as the receivable varies depending on a company’s contract with each insurance carrier.

You can create multiple insurance schedules for each plan. Each different insurance schedule for a plan is called a version. Having multiple versions allows you to assign a different schedule to different office locations, if needed. It also allows you to set up new insurance schedules ahead of time if you know that a plan’s benefits will be changing. For example, if the benefits for the plan VSP Choice will be changing on January 1, you can set up the new insurance schedule in September and choose for the new schedule to automatically start and the older schedule to automatically end on January 1.
