Cumm Journal, Patient Delinquent

Apr, 2006

On the aging report, you can request to get delinquent accounts only.  However, this delinquency is usually based on the age of the charge.  When we do patient reports, delinquency calculations should start after the patient starts getting statements on those charges, which sometimes may be several months after the initial charge date.  Patient delinquency should be based on how many statements the patient has received on the outstanding charges.  This is something we’ll call the Patient Bal Age Count.

As a charge becomes patient due, ( ie after Insur has paid it’s share and Insur Status=9 ) it will start appearing on patient statements.  Each monthly statement run will increment this Pat Age Count. 

In the Cumm Journal parameters, there is a new selection field #55: PAT Aging.  For example, if you want a report of all patients that have had at least 3 statements and their Pat share is at least $5, this would be your parameters.
