Pay Ahead

Pay Ahead - Current: Positive Impact - If the current month’s collection is inflated by the member paying early for future months.

Pay Ahead - Previous: Negative Impact - If the current month’s collection is decreased because the previous month was inflated by the member paying early for future months so less is due in current month.

Pay Ahead - Before: Positive Impact - If an account collects less in the previous month because an overpayment was made prior to the previous month.
