  2. Click the Benefits/Coverage button.
  3. From the left margin select Deductibles/Maximums.
  4. In the Deductibles table, enter the deductible(s) the patient has met in the appropriate fields.
  5. In the Maximums table, enter the amount of the insurance benefit maximums that the patient has already used.
  6. Click Save.
