Dear Sir/Madam, As a self-employed midwife in secondary occupation who is registered and works under the third-party payment scheme, I am unclear about what constitutes a daily receipt and what is invoiced as a sale.
Currently, I am paid (through the third-party payment scheme) by the health insurance funds for my services via the nomenclature for midwives that I have accepted as I am registered. I enter this as a daily receipt on the day I made the home visit, but the health insurance fund pays much later (on average two weeks after I have made my entry, which I always do at the end of the month). Is this correct on my part?
As the additional costs, such as mileage allowance and file costs, are not paid by the health insurance funds, this is a cost for the patient themselves. I draw up a sales invoice for this and send it to them. So I am not allowed to include these amounts in the daily receipts because they are automatically counted because I charge them to the patients as a sales invoice. Is that correct? So I don’t have to enter anything on a specific day? The programme does this itself?
Sorry, I’ve never taken any economics courses, so I’m learning everything through Dexxter (for which I am eternally grateful!!)
Love,
Amber
