676 Zero accounts  in one financial class

This program will 'zero' all the patient account balances in a specified financial class.

This program can be run by selecting 6, 7, 6 from the main directory.

You will be asked for a financial class. Then the program will find all patient accounts in that financial class that have an open balance. It will automatically enter an offsetting transaction to bring the patient balance to zero.

This program is useful for Capitation because you will not receive a payment for individual charges. You may not want to manually enter a payment or minus adjustment to each charge.

This program also has other uses.

For example, you get the Stratford program from a payer and you have been using it only for EDI. You have not been entering payments.  Now you want to start taking advantage of other features of the program. You want to zero all the patient balances. The program will find each charge that has an open balance and post a payment to that charge to bring the charge balance to zero. When finished, all charges will have a zero 'open' balance and all patients will have a zero balance.

Be very careful with this program. It can do a lot of damage if misused. It can enter hundreds of thousands of transactions that would need to be manually removed if you did not want to run the program. You can see that this could do a lot of damage if that is not what you wanted. For this reason you must be sure to have a good backup before you run this program.
