Payments Reports

Updated: 09/25/2024|Views: 7469

Payments reports can be used to view information about payments received as well as missed copays, adjustments, and denials. Some of these reports are also pulled into other valuable reports such as the Key Indicators reports.

Payments reports generate payment data depending on the user’s workflow at the time payment(s) were entered and applied. For example:

  • Payment amounts applied via the Payment record: When a user creates Payment records with the current default Post Date but applies the payment amount(s) to the service line(s) the following day or later, the Post Date of the Payment record is still used for the payment transaction(s).
  • Payment amounts applied via the Claim record: When a user creates Payment records then applies payment amount(s) in the Claim record the following day or later, the Posting Date of that claim action is used for the payment transaction(s) (instead of the Post Date of the associated Payment record).
