It sounds like you have set up separate fee schedules for each code under the ADA codes and then assigned each patient according to their insurance plan. But SoftDent does have another option for setting up the insurance plan "allowed amount" that would charge out the real office fee for the procedure to the patient and on the insurance claim. SoftDent will break it down to Patient pays, insurance pays, and the write-off.
1) List>Allowance Table - create an allowance table for each insurance fee table. You have to click "View Codes" on the side and change each fee from your office fee to the one given from the insurance company.
2) List>Insurance plan - Set each plan that in in PPO network to the correct Estimation Type. PPO % plan or Flat Fee PPO for all of your in network plans.
3) On the Coverage tab, on the insurance plan set up link the plan to the Allowance table you set up with the insurance fees. This will trigger SoftDent to create Blue Book entries for each code. Say yes to replace Blue Book entries.
4) On the patient info window set the fee schedule to "0".
I would highly recommend a remote training session to help you with this. You can reach out to dentalinstitute@csdental.com if you would like to speak with a trainer.
