About

Use this report when you are looking to see what the outstanding A/R is for when the Secondary Insurance Payer became responsible for a balance due.

For example:

  • You have a claim that was finally processed by the insurance company for adjudication
  • There is a secondary insurance on file with the patient responsibility due on that adjudicated claim
  • The claim gets a balance billed to the secondary payer on file
  • Some offices may wish to see patient A/R balances for when a secondary payer became responsible for balances rather than just view the age of the 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a balance in a date range bucket that is different from the top row bucket, then the AR_AGING_HISTORY table data is out of date.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.
