Remittances that are sent by Medicare are received with a "Total Paid to Provider" and a "Total Check/EFT Amount". In the Amount field (for applicable Medicare remittances), the software will utilize the "Total Check/EFT" amount that is received — this is the amount actually deposited to the provider's bank account. This ensures that the totals will match, regardless of the scenario. |
