When an account is sent to a health fund under that fund's No Gap arrangements, an additional co-payment account may also be sent directly to the patient. Both these accounts are actually managed from within one account in Access Anaesthetics, according to which print button is pressed to produce the account.
To send an account to the health fund, follow the instructions in the Setting the Fee section and print the account by clicking the standard Print now button on the bottom of the Account details screen. To print a patient co-payment account, enter the co-payment amount into the appropriate field on the Fee page, and press the small print button just near the co-payment amount field.
When receipts or reminders are printed, an alternative message (see Options, Health fund page) will appear in place of the standard message when any amount has been received as part or full payment of a co-payment. Print co-payment receipts using the same button that you use to print co-payment accounts.
Fund co-payments can also be printed for a batch of accounts from the List of Accounts screen by using the specific Co-Payment buttons. |

| Note | For accounts to be recognised as having co-payments, there must be an amount in the Co-payment field on the Fee page, AND the Account Type must be the same as the Health Fund Fee. That is, the health fund fee must be set as the main account fee. |
