About MDF Debits


Debits are read-only and created automatically only after a claim line item is approved. There are two types of MDF debits:

  • Paid. This type of debit is created after an MDF claim is approved by the channel manager and the status is set to Final Approval by the application.
  • Forfeiture. Any unused credit for the current period is forfeited when the HTIM MDF Period Ending Process workflow is executed at the end of the current period. In this case, a Forfeiture debit is created with the value of the unused credit.

Debit creation results in real-time changes to the Monthly Snapshot. The following table describes the changes that occur when a Paid debit is created.

If the available credit in this field is more than the remaining debit amount after debiting available credit from the 30 field, this field is decreased by the remaining MDF debit. If the available credit is less than the remaining debit amount, the balance remains 0, or is decreased to 0.

90

If the available credit in this field is more than the remaining debit amount after debiting the available credit from the 30 and 60 fields, this field is decreased by the remaining MDF debit. If the available credit is less than the remaining debit amount, the balance remains 0, or is decreased to 0.
