Description
The entire encounter line activities that occurred during the selected accounting date/DOS/Last Modified Date range are provided in I8. Encounter Line Activities Report.
Significance
This report pulls up the line-level details related to a charge. It is a fairly large report that often pulls bulk data and is the first in PracticeSuite to include offline reporting feature.
Utility
Status and sub status filters can be used to filter patients who have got lines billed to patient responsibility, or those in Collection. Patients paying in Installments can be easily filtered by the sub status filter. Practices can use this report to pick up a summary of the encounter line activities that occurred during a day, month, quarter, etc.
