Co-Payers & Co-Payments (Split Payments)

Overview

In order to make a client eligible to pay a co-payment prior to billing the standard payer, you will need to use the client contact feature so that you can assign a co-payment. See below for further details.

Setting a Co-pay Contact

To set the co-payer and co-payment, 

  • Log in to Ankota
  • Click Clients & filter for the correct client
  • Click the Client Contact tab
  • Add the client as a contact, including the same name and address
  • Check the box next to "Is Payer"
  • Add the co-payer dollar amount, hours, or percentage
  • Save

The Client Detail page displays the "Add/Remove as Payer" dialog box, which allows users to designate a payer and configure payment details including pay type, payer order, amount, and taxability options. The dialog contains checkboxes for "Payer" and "Co-Payer" along with a Save button to confirm the changes.

Bill to payer should only be checked if you wish to send the ENTIRE bill to another person.

Do not set a regular contact as a master contact unless you want this contact to be available to be assigned to other clients.
