  Continue with Step 2.
The New Account window appears. Select the required Practitioner, Class as 'Patient Claim', and then click OK.
The Account > Details window appears.
- Ensure the correct Practitioner and Class (Patient Claim) has been selected, and click OK.
- If either the Practitioner or Class has been selected incorrectly, click
  
  to display the New Account window again for correct selection.
The new Patient Claim account is added to the list of accounts in the Patient's Record. Double click or click Open to open the account.
