Once we check this option, the details with reference to the claim are displayed in the claim status box. The following details are displayed: Patient Name, Insurance, Claim Status, Patient Type, First ID, Second ID, Par/Non-Par and the details of amount posted for a particular check.

In addition to the claim status box, the following box appears on the screen

Post By Claim

The following field need to be entered as per EOB

Claim Bal: This will show the total balance in the claim (For e.g. if there are three line items in the claim and the total billed amount is $150, then $150 will be displayed in the Claim Bal box).
Paid Amount: Here you will have to post the actual paid amount as given in the EOB.
Co-Ins: Here you will have to post the actual amount of Co-Ins or Co-pay as given in the EOB.
Deducible: Here you will have to post the deductible amount as given in the EOB.
EOB AllowedAmount: EOB Allowed Amount is generated automatically. (EOB Allowed Amount = Paid Amount + Co-Ins + Deductible). The System allowed amount will popup once you are in this field.
