Billing Reports: Appointments

Billing reports empower you to identify and analyze areas for operational improvement in the practice. Access the All Appointments report to increase practice productivity and reduce no-shows by analyzing each provider’s appointment volume and cancellation, reschedule, and no-show rate. Review the Missed Charges report to eliminate lost revenue by identifying, prioritizing, and creating charges from any past appointment with missing charges.

Feature will be deployed to customers in phases and completed by end of September 2023.

Billing General Improvements

  • For our customers using the Tebra Web Service API, Tebra is continuously enhancing safeguards to ensure a positive experience for all users. Earlier this year, we implemented API rate limiting policies for our frequently used endpoints. After careful review, we have expanded these guidelines to all API endpoints. As of August 18, 2023, rate limiting guidelines have been applied to all remaining API endpoints at every half second, with the following exceptions listed below:
    • SearchPatient: Can be called once every 1/4 seconds
    • GetAppointments: Can be called once a second
    • GetCharges: Can be called once a second
    • GetPayments: Can be called once a second
    We appreciate your continued partnership as we work to provide an optimal experience for all customers. For more details about our API requirements, refer to our API documentation or Terms of Use.
