Payment Summary Report
Q: How do I run a payment summary report?
1. Select the Payment Summary Report
The payment summary report will display a list of payments that have been entered during a specified time period.
To run the duplicate report, click on the Billing menu then select Reports and Payment Summary.
2. Select Report Options & Run
- Start/End Date: Select the date range for the payment summary.
- User: If you wish to run the payment summary report for payment entered by a particular user, select the desired user for the drop-down menu. If you wish to see payment entered by all users, leave this selection blank.
- Exclude Posted Date: "Posted Only" refers to payments that were officially posted on the current date, but were entered on a different (previous) date. This situation would occur if you took a pre-payment for a patient and deposited the payment, but you did not officially post the payment to the patient's account that day (it remained in the Unapplied Pre-Pay balance). When you run the payment summary report, you can choose to include (by unchecking the box) or exclude (by checking the box) the "posted only" payments.
- Group by User: Checking this box will group the payment by the user who entered the payment.
- Click the OK button to run the report.
