Generating Statement for Patient Balances

1. Before generating a batch of statements the Secondary Billing Link should be reviewed and all secondary’s created.
2. Generate a batch of statements

You can generate a batch of patient statements, which you can either electronically transmit (if you are set up for Electronic Statements) to our third-party vendor who prints and mails the statements to patients on your behalf or print the statements (from a PDF file) to mail to patients. 

Recommendations

• Prior to generating a batch of statements, post and apply all insurance and patient payments, and confirm that you have created all secondary claims. If these are not completed, the statements will not be inaccurate.
• Envelope size: #10 double window envelope
