Daily Demand Patient Statements After Insurance Pays

As insurance payments are posted, certain charges become patient due. We may want to send a demand statement right away instead of waiting for month end statement run.

We can set up these statements to run as part of Daily Summary. The resulting statement looks like following

Recommendation/ How to Use:

Use this “in addition” to your regular month end statements that will have any running balance.

Purpose:

.Billing patient immediately after you have received & post the EOB, means that they receive a statement from you about the same time they receive their copy of their EOB. It is easy for them to understand the PATIENT BALANCE, as it matches what the insurance company told them. It is not confused with other balance from prior months, or other dates of service not on the EOB. Patient will often pay the balance right away, since it is clear to them.
Speeds up cash flow.
Reduces the number of month end statements, since often patients will have paid for these dates of service prior to you producing the month end statements.

CSR Setup:

scnday.run

In ./prt directory, edit daysm2.cmd and add following line:
