Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for managing receivables generated at the time of paying a fee at a hospital window or the like. When a patient arrives at a hospital and has no money or forgets his / her insurance card, the claim for the day is managed as unpaid and managed in the medical office system. This receivable is managed so that it will be settled at the hospital window along with the bill at the time of the next visit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art If a patient fails to pay bills multiple times, accruals will accumulate. This receivable is managed as a total amount.
Therefore, when the patient comes to the next window, the total amount of past unpaid money and the amount charged at that time will be charged.

[0003]

There are cases where the patient has only a part of the combined amount of money. In this case, accounting processing is performed in the form of partial payment. However, in the conventional medical system, it is not possible to specify which past claim the partial deposit was made against. Therefore, there was a problem that past payments could not be settled correctly with a partial deposit.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention adopts a method of managing unpaid credits for each billing unit so that the accumulative information that has not been repaid can be quickly searched for. It is an object of the present invention to provide an accrual management device capable of performing collective settlement of accounts, individual settlement of accrual of individual claims in the past, and installment payment of a certain claim.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by means as set forth in the claims.

[0006] That is, the invention of claim 1 is a device for managing uncollected money generated when a full amount of a certain claim is not paid, and records the record corresponding to each individual claim. The unreceivable management device has an unreceivable management information file that has information indicating a billed amount, an unpaid amount, and a paid amount in its field.

In the invention of claim 2, when a certain bill is output, the record of the unpaid management file created for the same billing destination as that billing destination is extracted, so In addition to calculating the receivables for one or more claims, claiming the amount combined with the claim amount at that time, and if there is a deposit, it will be added to the receivable amount for any claim or to the claim amount at that time This is a method of using an accrual management device that applies a money amount to perform a deposit process.

[0008]

1 is a diagram for explaining the present invention. Hereinafter, the uncollected management device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, first, when the terminal 1 is instructed to settle the charge, the charge calculation control unit 4 instructs the today's charge calculation control unit 7 to calculate the today's charge. The today's charge calculation control unit 7
Notify today's charges.

Next, the charge calculation control unit 4 instructs the unpaid portion calculation unit 5 to calculate the unpaid amount. The accrual calculation unit 5 is the previous invoice search process and the accrual amount total unit 6
The unpaid fee is obtained from the uncollected management information file 3 via. Then, the unpaid charges are notified to the charge calculation control unit 4.

The terminal displays today's charges and unpaid charges thus obtained. In response to this display, the terminal 1 commands the deposit processing to be performed when the patient receives a payment, and the uncollectible processing when the total amount is not received. The deposit / accrual calculation control unit 8 instructs the today's charge calculation control unit 7 to create a bill record for today. The daily charge calculator 7 writes the created record in the billing information file 2.

On the other hand, the deposit / receipt calculation control unit 8 instructs the deposit / receipt control unit 9 to perform a deposit process or a receipt process. Upon receipt of the instruction, the deposit / receipt control unit 9 instructs the deposit control unit 10 to perform deposit processing,
Further, the uncollected accounting control unit 11 is instructed to perform uncollected processing.

The deposit control unit 10 applies the amount of deposit to the uncollected receivables generated in the past, updates the unreceivable management information file 3, and when the billing for today is also deposited, The billing information file 2 is also updated. The accrual accounting control unit 11 performs processing for accumulating the accrual in the accrual management information file 3.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the record format of the billing information file, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the record format of the uncollected management information file. Figure 2
In the above, the record of the billing information file has fields for storing a patient ID for identifying a patient, a billing date, a bill number, a billing amount for today, and an unpaid amount for today.

In FIG. 3, the record of the accrual management information file includes a patient ID for identifying a patient, a billing date, a bill number and its serial number, a deposit amount for today, and an accrual amount remaining for today. It has a field for storing a billing link address indicating the position of the corresponding billing record in the billing information file.

In FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A, 1991 is shown.
It shows a record created on September 1, 2013. In these records, the billing amount of 1200 yen on that day is processed as unpaid. In FIG. 2B and FIG. 3B, 19
The record created on September 10, 1991 is shown. In these records, the billing amount of 500 yen on that day is processed as unpaid.

1991 are shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 3 (c).
The record created on September 14, 2014 is shown. In these records, since all the billed amounts were deposited on this day, the billing amount of 400 yen on the 14th is deposited together with past accumulated uncollected amounts, that is, 1200 yen and 500 yen. ..

The billing link address in the receivable management information file indicates which billing record in the billing information file the receivable corresponds to.
For example, due to this billing link address, the receivable of 1,200 yen is 19 at the address 1000 of the billing information file.
It can be seen that this is a receivable for the bill on September 1, 1991. In addition, the receivable of 500 yen is 2 in the billing information file.
It can be seen that this is a receivable for the bill on September 10, 1991 at address 000.
