This article gives an overview of the settings related to insurance claims. Note that this article does not currently cover insurance 'condition' functionalities.
General Settings
These settings control the insurance claim functionality on the department level.
Settings > General > Department > Insurance
- Enable insurance claims: When selected, the insurance section is shown on invoice pages.
- Allow adding insurance claims on finalised invoices: When selected, the +Claim button for adding an insurance claim is available on finalised invoices.
- Allow adding insurance claims on draft invoices: When selected, the +Claim button for adding an insurance claim is available on draft invoices.
- Compensation editable after invoice finalization: When selected, the insurance claim compensation sum can be edited on finalised invoices.
- Allow adding insurance payments: When selected, the insurance claim payment method is available for invoices that have unpaid insurance compensations. This setting is not used if payments are added through a third-party integration.
- Allow adding partial insurance payments: When selected, it is possible to add a partial insurance payment on an invoice. Otherwise, the payment must match the full insurance compensation sum.
- Enable automatic insurance payment refunds during credit note finalization: When selected, insurance payments are automatically refunded when credit notes are created from invoices, including insurance payments. Otherwise, insurance payments must be separately selected to be refunded.
- Use current date for automatically refunded payments: When selected, the current date is used for automatically refunded insurance payments. Otherwise, the original insurance payment date is used.
- Require invoice claim to be ready or rejected before invoice can be finalized: When selected, a draft invoice with an insurance claim cannot be finalised before the insurance claim status is either 'Ready' or 'Rejected'.
- Default items for fee: In this field, you can add items that are added to the invoice by default when an insurance claim is added to the invoice.
-
Insurance number prefix in insurance emails: You can add a prefix to the insurance claim number used in the emails when insurance claims are sent to insurance companies. The Claim department ID option adds the ID of the department as the prefix to the insurance claim number. With the Custom option, you can define the prefix yourself in the Insurance number custom prefix field. For example, if the insurance claim number is 12345 and you add the prefix 999 using the Custom option, the insurance claim number will be shown as 999-12345 in the email sent to the insurance company.
