Description
This report screen is used for statement generation. The report provides various filters to list patients with balances and generate their statements. The statements can be generated in different formats, including e-statements, generic PDFs, and CSV, with the option of direct submission to the clearinghouse.
A C2 report can be used to generate installment letters for patients paying in installments.
The C2 report can also be viewed from the Generate Patient Statement(s) submenu under the Charges menu.
Significance
1. The C2 report can be used to display the previous statement count as well as generate new statements.
2. The e-statement feature with the integrated payment gateway service is a great tool that practices can utilize to reduce payment defaults and promote faster patient collections.
3. Important Note: The C2 report cannot be used to void statements. To void statements, go to Demographics screen of the patient and select the Statement History tab which displays a list of patient statements. Click on 
icon corresponding to the statement to be voided. When you void statements, the Statement count decreases accordingly.
4. For those patients having installments, this report helps generate installment letters.
5. A message box is provided in the C2 report where you can provide a dunning message that would appear on every PDF generated.
Utility
1. The ‘Include All Outstanding Patient Balance’ filter will include all patient-responsible lines with balances, disregarding all the other chosen filters.
2. The statement filter can be used to include or exclude patients who are eligible for eStatements.
3. If you do not want statements to be generated for patients who owe a due amount lower than, say 5$, you can enter $5 in the ‘Due Amount From’ and enter a very large number in the ‘Due Amount To’ column, whereupon statements would not be generated for balance amounts less than $5.
4. If you want patients with credit money to be excluded from the statement generation, you can check the box ‘Exclude patients with On-Account’. The system will exclude patients whose credit balance is equal to or greater than the patient balance. If the on-account money is less than a patient’s balance, the patient will still be on the statement list.
5. If you want to exclude patients who have paid in the last, say 30 days, you can provide 30 in the ‘No payment received since’ filter.
6. A warning 
will show up for patients if secondary insurance is present for the patient but the insurance is not present in the patient’s case; see Image 2. This flag helps to identify patients who have active secondary insurance but have inadvertently had their lines to patient responsibility (BILL_to_PT or GR).
7. The patient name in the listing is a hyperlink that takes us to the patient information screen. Click the ChargeMaster 
button to view or edit the charge information. On Account is also a hyperlink that on clicking opens the Payment screen, displaying all payments of the patient that add up to the on-account amount. Refer to Image 2.
8. The filter named ‘Exclude charges with Statement(s) Sent in the Last N days‘ can hereafter accept “0” days as the input for the statement generation. An explanation for the input days is given below:
* 0 – excludes statements generated on the current day.
* 1 – excludes statements generated on current minus 1 day.
* n – excludes statements generated current minus n days.

Patient Statement Generation
1. 
The e-Statements feature provides practices with the convenience of sending patient balances through the electronic mode. It reduces payment defaults and aids in faster patient collections. With the e-statements, patients can easily view their outstanding balance and quickly make payments. This is an on-demand feature. The email and SMS setup for the e-Statement, such as the mail host, Auth. Mail ID, Auth. Password, SMS Operator, Message, etc., will have to be set up from the e-Statement tab in Notifications under the Advanced Setup menu.
1A. On clicking the ‘Send e-Statement’ button, an email with the portal link and an SMS with the statement # will be sent to the patient’s registered email and cell #.
