[Navigation] Utilities > Transfer Balance Assignments
[Accordion] Overview
The Transfer Balance Assignments feature allows you to transfer claim balances from one Insurer to another, or to the patient directly. It’s especially useful when multiple claims billed under different plans are paid through a single bulk payment from one Insurer.
[Accordion] Getting Started
Steps to transfer a Balance Assignment
Filter: Choose the Date Range and Assigned Payor, and optionally the Assigned Patient, to limit the results to the records you want to review.
Transfer To: Use this field to select the Insurer or patient responsibility, where the claim balances should be reassigned.
3. Place a checkmark near the balances to transfer, then click/tap [[img:Forward_to_Inbox >> lbl:Transfer Balance Assignments]].
4. Select what status you want the transaction to be in once the Balance Assignment is transferred. Selected "Yes" to set the status of the transaction to "Queued". Select "No" to set the status of the transaction to "Pending".
[Accordion] FAQs
[Q] Can I transfer balances between multiple Insurers at once?
[A] No. Balances can only be transferred from one Insurer to another in a single operation. To transfer across multiple Insurers, repeat the process for each Insurer.
[Q] What happens if I select the wrong Insurer while transferring?
[A] You will need to reassign the balances again by selecting the correct Insurer. The system does not automatically reverse an incorrect transfer.
[Q] Can I transfer balances for multiple patients at once?
[A] Yes. You can select multiple patient records and transfer their Balance Assignments in a single action.
[Q] Will the system keep a record of transferred balances?
[A] Yes. All balance transfers are tracked within the claim history for audit and reference.
[Q] Can I undo a Balance Assignment transfer?
[A] Typically, transfers cannot be undone directly. If you need a correction, you may need to perform another transfer or contact the ClinicTracker Support team for additional assistance.
[Q] Why don’t I see certain patients or claims in the list?
[A] This may happen if filters are applied, the claims don’t meet the criteria, or balances are already assigned to the selected Insurer.
[Q] Does transferring Balance Assignments submit new claims or update payment posting?
[A] No. It only reassigns the responsible Insurer on existing balances; it does not rebill or submit claims automatically.
