Each provider is assigned a unique number. This allows for more compact data storage and eliminates redundant keystrokes during data entry. These numbers may be assigned to any provider for which production information is to be collected. Complete, balanced and subtotaled, daily audit trail listings are produced when a 'daily run' is completed. As part of this, a series of summary management reports can be printed showing daily, month to date, year to date and last year to date production figures for each provider and for the clinic as a whole.
Accountability is maintained via adjustment entries recorded in the patients billing history.
A collection reference listing is available on demand, covering only those patients with a collection balance. The patient's collection history can be viewed as an extract of the billing history. On demand bills may be printed with or without payments or diagnostic descriptions. These bills can cover any time period in the current billing file. The amount of history retained is limited only to the amount of computer storage the clinic wishes to use for that purpose.
