Description
This report screen is used for statement generation. The report provides various filters to list patients with balances and for generating their statements. The statements can be generated in different formats including e-statements, generic PDF, CSV, and with the option for direct submission to the clearinghouse.
C2 report can be used to generate Installment letters for patients paying in installments.
C2 report can also be viewed from Generate Patient Statement(s) submenu under Charges menu.
Significance
- The C2 report can be used to display the previous statement count as well as generate new statements.
- The E-statement feature with the integrated payment gateway service is a great tool that Practices can utilize to reduce payment defaults and to promote faster patient collections.
- Important Note: C2 report cannot be used to void statements. To void statements, go to Demographics screen of the patient and select 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. - For those patients having installments, this report helps to generate Installment letters.
- Message box is provided in the C2 report where you can provide a dunning message which would appear on every PDF generated.
Utility
1. ‘Include All Outstanding Patient Balance’ Filter will include all patient responsible lines with balances disregarding all the other chosen filters.
2. 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 less 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 where upon 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 inadvertently had their lines in patient responsibility (BILL_to_PT or GR).
7. Patient Name in the listing is a hyper link which takes us to the patient information screen. Click the ChargeMaster 
button to view or edit the charge information. On Account is also a hyper link which 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.
