About

The Ins. Payer - Ins. A/R report displays the practice's Insurance Accounts Receivable by Insurance Payer. It displays all outstanding insurance balances due from the payer and breaks the balances up by different aging buckets, making it easy to see, in a quick glance, the areas of work in your A/R that need to be addressed. This report includes the option to "Show patient details" which allows users to view and add billing notes, go directly to the patient account, and work claims as necessary. It is recommended for you to run the Proof Patient Account A/R Update prior to working A/R.

Note: If patient details indicate a balance in a date range bucket that is different from the top row bucket, then the AR_AGING_HISTORY table data is out of date. Re-run the update function by clicking the Update button in the Billing tab > Proof Patient Accounts > A/R Data Update Procedures tab.
