Write-Off Expected posting: Write-Off Expected posts the write-off according to which rule?

• A. The payer
• B. The patient
• C. The contract in Epic
• D. Manual adjustment by a user

Answer: (C)

The write-off amount is determined by the contract stored in Epic. In Epic, contracts define the negotiated allowances and write-off terms for a payer and service combination. When a Write-Off Expected posting occurs, the system looks up the contract tied to the payer and service, and uses those contract terms to calculate the write-off that should be posted. This keeps the write-off aligned with negotiated agreements rather than being driven by the payer alone, the patient, or manual adjustments. The contract effectively dictates how much should be written off in these postings.
