Transfer Insurance Balances

With the Transfer Insurance Balances function, you can automatically transfer insurance balances to patient balances. An entry is made in the patient's insurance ledger to indicate that the balance was transferred. CGM webPRACTICE stores the User Code of the User performing this function.
