Inhibit Liability Distribution (By Client) - PM

This form works with the Guarantors/Payors form to stop client liability from being distributed or define a client as non-billable.

When liability is inhibited, service charges are distributed to the remaining guarantors in the client’s financial eligibility. Charges that have been inhibited display on the Client Ledger, but are not produced on any myAvatar PM bills.
