Locked

What do y'all think is the best method for a third party payment (ie insurance company paying).
It feels like I'm missing something doing it the following way 1) Autocreate customer billing account 2) Checkout via billing account <missing how to transfer this receivable from customer to insurance company> n) post payment from insurance company to customer's billing account n+1)close invoice any help would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |

How about just use the Accounting > Payments and create a new
payment?

The payment part is fine. However, I think that I
need to create some sort of transfer of liability from the customer to the insurance company for the time between the order being shipped and the insurance company paying.

So what exactly happened? Are you talking about paying for a shipment
which got lost?

No. This is for a healthcare provider where most of the time an insurance company is paying the invoice. This involves co-pays and deductibles. The invoice needs to go to the end user, but needs to be billed to 1, 2 or 3 insurance companies. Also, when the insurance company pays, they're likely paying for items off of more than one invoice; from more than one customer (beneficiary). ----- Original Message ---- From: Si Chen <[hidden email]> To: OFBiz Project Development Discussion <[hidden email]> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 3:54:55 PM Subject: Re: [OFBiz] Dev - Third Party Payment So what exactly happened?

The question really boils down to whether the invoice is a liability of
the customer and sent to the insurance company, or whether the invoice
is a liability of the insurance company?

I wish there was a simple answer for that. At the time when services are rendered, it is the liabilty of the customer. It becomes the liability of the insurance company after the items or services have been billed to the insurance company AND the insurance company determines that the customer AND the services are eligible for coverage. Think credit cards before instaneous verification. For our use, I'm adding an Insurance entity (that will hold all of the nice insurance fields) with a paymentMethodId. The paymentMethod will have the partyId of the insurance company. When an order is placed (for the time becing because of the horrible complicated mess involved in setting the price), an entry will be made in the OrderPaymentPreference for each of the following: 1) The customer's BillingAccount 2) Each of the third party payers where the customer is associated with the Insurance entity Any other precautions or ideas to avoid some pitfalls would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ---- From: Si Chen <[hidden email]> To: OFBiz Project Development Discussion <[hidden email]> Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 11:21:29 AM Subject: Re: [OFBiz] Dev - Third Party Payment The question really boils down to whether the invoice is a liability of the customer and sent to the insurance company, or whether the invoice is a liability of the insurance company?
