  2. Navigate to the ODB Payment Predictor:

    • Once logged in, go to the main dashboard.

    • Look for the section or tab labeled "Third Party" and click on "ODB."

Step 2: Understanding the ODB Payment Predictor Interface

  1. Overview Section:

    • At the top, you'll see an overview of your current claim periods and expected payment amounts.

    • This section provides a summary of your recent activity and payments.

  2. Claim Period Table:

    • Below the overview, you’ll find a table listing your ODB claim periods.

    • The table includes columns such as Claim Period, Billing Amount, Expected Payment Date, and Expected Payment Amount.

Step 3: Analyzing Your Claim Periods

  1. View Claim Periods:

    • Review the listed claim periods to see the details of each period’s billing amount and expected payment.

  2. Expected Payment Date:

    • Note the expected payment date for each claim period. This date is based on your billing submissions and ODB’s processing schedule.

  3. Expected Payment Amount:

    • The expected payment amount is an estimate based on your billings during the claim period.

    • Remember that there may be minor adjustments made by ODB before making the deposit, which could slightly change the payment amount.

Step 4: Monitoring and Planning

  1. Compare Payments:

    • Use the tool to compare your ODB payments over different claim periods. This can help you identify trends and monitor your growth.

  2. Plan Finances:

    • By knowing your expected payment dates and amounts, you can better plan your finances and ensure you have sufficient funds when payments are received.

  3. Adjustments:

    • Keep in mind that the final payment amount may vary slightly due to adjustments made by ODB. Monitor your actual payments and compare them with the predicted amounts to understand any differences.

Step 5: Utilizing the Data

  1. Export Data:

    • If needed, you can export the data from the table for further analysis. Look for the three lines button or option on the right side of the page.

  2. Report Issues:

    • If you notice any discrepancies or have questions about your payments, use the support feature to report issues or seek clarification.
