Need Clarification in Adjustment value calculation

OpenEMR Development

@brady.miller
Need some clarification related to remainder value. During some payments if the adjustment amount is greater, remainder results in negative value. We have provided the scenario in which we worked on to explain it in more detail. An Encounter with Charge:50.00 and Remainder:40.00 is considered. Once we pay 10 i.e Allowed:10.00 the adj amount value changes to Adj Amount:40.00. On clicking on finish payments one could able to receive Remdr:-10.Is this the expected behaviour? Does this workflow help the Billers and Doctors or should we change the adjustment value calculation.

Thanks,

hi @visolveemr, noted your other topic, Remainder value calculation issue in Batch payments, should be able to take a look at this soon but @sjpadgett may have some thoughts too

I do but can’t today. With billing there is usually a reason it is done in certain ways. The way credits are applied, i’m still unclear. I have seen that decimal formatting sometimes cause issues with arithmetic.
