A claim can be made either from either Claims or Financial.

1. From the Claims Tab, select 'Claim'. 
2. If there is more than one ACC number, select the appropriate number (either highlight the item and press Enter or double click the item with the left mouse button).
   If there is only one ACC number on file, the cursor will move automatically to the date field. 
3. Enter the date.
   To speed up data entry, Quick Codes can be set up for ACC Schedule claims (see Setup – Financial – 3^rd Party Schedules). You can of course still type the details manually, but this is more time consuming. The Code allocated to each claim item is for your own use to speed up code selection. It will not print on the ACC Schedule.
4. Type the claim code (if known) and press F8 to expand the code if you do not know the code press F8 for the whole list and select from it.
   The details will appear in the next four fields (Regulation Ref Number, Annotation, Patient Surcharge, Amount) according to how the selected code has been set up.
5. Additional lines of annotation may be typed as required and further quick codes selected if necessary.
   If you type the claim details rather than selecting one of the Quick Codes, you will need to move to the appropriate field by way of the Right Arrow key, as pressing ENTER on a blank field will result in the Quick Codes box displaying. If this happens, select Cancel.
6. Select 'OK'.
   
   If there was a patient surcharge, continue with the Invoice.
