About

This report displays Accounts Receivable for dates when a patient became responsible for a balance.

For example:

  • You have a claim from 13 months ago that was just processed by the insurance company for adjudication
  • There is a patient responsibility due on the adjudicated claim
  • Some offices may not wish to see patient A/R balances that are not accurate to when the patient actually became responsible for a balance, because an insurance payer decided to hold up the processing of a claim

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a balance in a date range bucket that is different from the top row bucket, then the AR_AGING_HISTORY table data is out of date.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.
