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.

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.
