The Claim Suppression workflow allows the invoices to be reviewed in the Claims tab before they are transmitted and prevents the transmission of claims for invoices that should be voided. Requires Zedmed v37 or later.
Enable Claim Suppression
Disable the ability to submit a DVA or Bulk Bill claim directly from the New Invoice screen and leave Suppress as the only option. This is a practice wide setting.
To enable Claim Suppression:
- Open Practice Details.
- Tick Force Claim Suppression.
Workflow step 1 - Create a suppressed invoice
