This individual must have thorough knowledge and understanding of the clinic computer system and how it interacts with care rendered in the clinical areas to the cost associated with dental care. This individual explains to the patient, student and staff or faculty member when and specifically how much is owed by the patient for each visit. Because this system keeps track of patient receivables by patient or guarantor and the School of Dental Medicine needs to track patient receivables by clinic and or fund (i.e. 10, 20, or 29) in PeopleSoft.
