Helpful Information
-
The AR Report refreshes whenever a new payment is received or when a patient’s appointment is marked as Completed.
-
If write-offs were added after the last completed appointment (and the patient hasn’t been seen since), the AR Report may still show a balance—even if the patient’s Case/Ledger displays a 0.00 balance.
How to Refresh the AR Report
Option 1: Patient has visits in their case
-
Go to the Patient File.
-
Select the Appointment tab.
-
Open the most recent Completed Appointment.
-
Click Review.
-
Click Check Out on the patient’s appointment.
-
Re-run the AR Report.
Option 2: Case has only Over-the-Counter charges
-
Go to the Patient File.
-
Select the Ledger tab.
-
Open the Payment tab.
-
Click Post Payment and enter a temporary $0.01 cash payment.
-
Click on the posted payment and select Delete to remove it.
-
Re-run the AR Report.
Option 3: Contact Support
If the patient still appears on the AR Report, it may mean that money within a charge on the Ledger wasn’t allocated properly. In this case, contact Support for assistance. They will review the Patient File/Charges to identify and correct the issue.
