Update Turnover
The Update Turnover - Group option from the RCM Home Page Sheet Bar is used when you would like to modify information on a group of accounts that have already been turned over to collections.
You can make the following changes to items included in the turnover using the Update Turnover option:
You can change the expiration date of the conflict setting assigned.
If the charge was not originally written off, but you would like to write if off now, you can use the Update Turnover option to do this.
You can change RCM Status of the items.
You can move charges that were originally turned over to inside collections to an external collections agency.
You can create a file that you can use to transfer charges that were originally turned over to one external agency to a different external agency. You would manually notify the original agency that you are transferring the accounts.
