Due Date Management

When Due Date Management is enabled for a site, HealthSource Clarity automatically calculates the Due Date.

Calculation Rules

To determine the Number of days until due, we look at three aspects of a request:

o       Major Class

o       Requester Type

o       Primary Reason for Request

The default Number of days until due is added to one of these three dates:

o       Facility Received Date (most common)

o       Request Letter Date

o       Current Date

Process Overview

User input can override default

IF a user enters the Days Due or Due Date;

AND the resulting Due Date is EARLIER than the default values;

THEN we leave the manual value.

Business days, not calendar days

The automatic calculation reflects business days. For example:

o       Request received Tuesday, January 14, 2020.

o       The Due Date calculation = + 5 days.

Because there are only 3 work days left in the week, the actual calculated Due Date is Tuesday, January 21, 2020.

The Saturday and Sunday are “skipped.”

No customization

The default Due Date Management values CANNOT be changed.

All of the calculations are enabled together — you cannot use some and disable others.

Due Date calculations not made when Invoice Type is specified

You must use the Reason for Request option to take advantage of automatic Due Date calculations.

If you use Invoice Type instead of Reason for Request, we do NOT set the Due Date automatically.
