The alternative is not to use an Other Current Liability account in the setup of the payroll item. Instead, allow the deductions from the paychecks directly credit, or lessen, the expense for health insurance. The above graphic shows the payroll item being edited. The liability account is being replaced with the expense account normally used for paying the insurance vendor. When using this setup, the Health insurance payroll item never shows in any of the Pay Liabilities screens. Instead the amounts are deducted from the cost of health insurance. Following is a screenshot of a quick report of the Health insurance expense account. Note how the paycheck deductions reduce the expense.
Because the incisions are smaller than with an open colectomy, patients may recover slightly faster and have less pain than they do after standard colon surgery. Laparoscopic-assisted surgery is as likely to be curative as the open approach for colon cancers. But the surgery requires special expertise. If you are considering this approach, be sure to look for a skilled surgeon who has done many of these operations.
