How to Bill a Daily Rental, billed at the End of each Month.

We have a contract with a payor for a daily rental rate. We will bill the payor at the end of each month. We can of course enter the order manually, but the easiest way is to create a Tie to do the work for us.

Setup	First make sure the Package Code is “DY”. This may mean you have to create a new package code for the item. And make sure the TOS is 18 to indicate a rental item.
Step 1	We want to set the Dates of Service (DOS) to Month, Calendar in order to bill from the initial DOS to the end of the month, and then for each month following.
Step 2	Set Recurring to “Set Quantity by Dates”, because we want the units to change (The Days/Units will change, but the quantity will remain one).
Step 3	Set the “Claim or Order” to “Create Recurring Order for 1st Month”. This will create a recurring order for the first month instead of a claim. This will give us flexibility in case the patient passes before the end of the month. Then we can change the order instead of adjusting a claim.
