Insurance vs. Cash Jobs
Insurance vs. Cash Jobs
When creating a job, you'll choose how the customer is paying — insurance or cash. This affects which fields appear and which final status makes sense for the job.
Cash / Out-of-Pocket Jobs
The customer pays you directly. No insurance fields are needed.
When the job is done and payment is collected, mark it as:
- Paid — for card, check, or bank payment
- Paid — Cash/Venmo — for cash or Venmo payment
Insurance Jobs
The customer's insurance company is covering the work. Check Is Insurance when creating or editing the job. Additional fields will appear:
- Insurance carrier — the insurance company (e.g., State Farm, GEICO)
- Claim number — the customer's claim reference
- Deductible — the amount the customer owes out of pocket
- Billed to insurance — the full amount billed to the insurer
Finalizing an Insurance Job
Depending on how your shop handles insurance:
- Mark Paid — if you've already received the check or payment
- Mark Invoiced — if you've submitted the invoice and are waiting on the check; use this to move the job out of your active list while you wait
Tips
- If you're not sure which option to use upfront, you can always edit the job later to add insurance details
- The KPI dashboard can filter by insurance vs. cash jobs to show you revenue breakdowns
