Medicaid reimburses doulas in 26 US states — get paid by matching Type 1 and Type 2 NPIs to claim fields, contracting every MCO, and aging receivables.

Medicare pays roughly $65 per patient per month for CPT 99490, but only after documented consent, an initiating visit, and an electronic care plan are in place.

A bounced check reverses the deposit and reopens the receivable — book the NSF fee as its own expense and apply the redeposit to the invoice, never to revenue.

An overpayment is a liability, not revenue. Book the excess as a customer credit, park unmatched cash in a clearing account, and escheat stale credits.

A credit memo reduces what a customer owes and a debit memo increases it — both correct an invoice without deleting it, so the audit trail survives.

Donuts cost cents to make, yet profit leaks through 4 a.m. labor, fryer oil, and day-old waste — track each line to hold food cost under 30%.

US Medicaid authorizations cap private-duty nursing revenue while payroll runs weekly — track auth balances, reconcile EVV, and hold DSO at 40–45 days.

Montenegro's 2026 VAT amendments let you reclaim output VAT on uncollectible invoices — but only with a court decision, and only if you sued first.

Supply chain finance pays suppliers in days at the buyer's credit rate: a 1.2% fee for 85 days early is about 5.2% APR. Negotiate the base term, not the fee.
