How do you look up an invoice number in PB Insurance Payment Posting if it does not appear on the EOB?

• A. Type ".p" in the Invoice field to search for it by patient
• B. Use the Search by Date function
• C. Search by Amount
• D. Contact Support

Answer: (A)

When an invoice number isn’t shown on the EOB, you use a patient-centered search in the Insurance Payment Posting tool. Typing the special prefix to start the search with the patient (for example, entering a dot and p in the Invoice field) switches the lookup from invoice-number mode to patient mode, so you can pull up all of that patient’s invoices and identify the correct one. This approach directly narrows the results to the right records, making it easier to find the exact invoice number. Looking by date or by amount can produce multiple matches and confusion, and contacting support is a slower fallback if the system doesn’t yield results.
