How to Enter Client Insurance Information

Overview

This article explains how to add insurance information for a client. You can add primary, secondary, tertiary, or other types of insurance. A client’s active primary and secondary insurances appear in the summary bar, so you do not need to expand the Insurance panel to view them.


Step 1: Access the Account Tab

  1. Open the client’s chart.

  2. Click the Account tab at the top of the screen.


Step 2: Add Insurance

  1. In the Insurance panel, click Add Insurance.

  2. On the Add Insurance screen, choose the appropriate insurance type:

    • Primary: Add the client’s primary insurance.

    • Secondary: Add the client’s secondary insurance. This option is automatically selected if a primary insurance already exists.

    • Tertiary: Add the client’s tertiary insurance. This option is automatically selected if both primary and secondary insurances exist.

    • Other: Use this option to record insurance information that doesn’t fall into the primary, secondary, or tertiary categories.

  3. Enter the insurance details:
