Posting collection payments involves recording the funds a collection agency collects and applying them to the correct patient accounts while following the conditions in the BA contract. The payments you post come from many different patients and account ages, so the posted total reflects input from multiple accounts rather than a single patient. The agency typically provides a remittance or statement that shows exactly which patient accounts have been paid and how much was credited to each, which you use to reconcile and update the ledgers. Because each of these elements—the contract terms, the multi-account mix, and the detailed remittance—are involved in accurate posting, all of the above applies.
