Statements

Every patient statement for the selected client, above the patient A/R it draws on: what is held, what is ready to send, and what went out this cycle. One statement in full is The Statement Page; the batches that carry them out are Statement Batches.

The Statements list: four tiles over a table of statements, nine ready to send and one held

User only, when the client is licensed for statements. Administrators and Managers have no access, as with Patients: every row carries a patient name.

The tiles count the whole book, never the filtered list, so their totals reconcile against the ledger.

TileWhat it countsSelecting it
Patient A/REvery open patient balance on the ledger, and how many accounts owe oneNothing. It is a total, not a filter
HeldStatements in Held, with their totalFilters the list to Held
Ready to sendStatements in Ready, with their totalFilters the list to Ready
Sent this cycleAccounts whose latest statement was sent since the last cycle started, with their totalFilters the list to Sent

Selecting a tile again clears its filter. A tile shows a dash rather than a zero when its count could not be read, so a clean day and a failed count never look alike.

Under the tiles, a Stage chip appears for every rung of the notice ladder that currently holds statements, each with its count. Rungs with none are not shown, so the row fills in as the cycle runs. One stage filters at a time.

Search matches the statement number, the patient’s name and their MRN.

StageWhere on the notice ladder this statement sits
Amount dueWhat it asks the patient to pay
OldestAge in days of the oldest open patient balance on the account. Not sortable
StatusThe status, and for a held statement a short reason: address incomplete, billing restricted, QMB, do not bill, bankruptcy or secondary pending. A hold raised by a client rule shows its code instead
Statement dateWhen it was generated

The list sorts by statement date, newest first, and a row opens the statement. Each row ends in a download icon that fetches the statement’s PDF; on a held statement it is greyed, and the tooltip says held statements do not have a document yet.

ActionWhat it doesWhen it is offered but greyed
Run statement cycleStarts a cycle run now, with the same settings the schedule usesWhile a run is starting or already going, when it reads Cycle running…

A run mints one statement for every account with a patient balance at or above the minimum, and not billed within the cadence. The defaults are a $5 minimum and 30 days; an Administrator changes them on the schedule. Accounts under the minimum or in credit are counted, never billed. Each new statement is checked as it is made: one that passes is Ready, one that does not is Held and lands on the Statement Review queue.

While a run is going, a banner says when it started. Asking for a second run is refused until the first finishes. The run’s outcome, as counts of generated, held, under minimum and credit balances, is recorded on the task in Tasks.

Without a schedule, a banner says no statement cycle is scheduled and offers Schedule one. The button still runs a cycle with the defaults, and a single statement can be generated from the patient page.

StatusWhat it means
DraftNot yet checked. Generation checks every statement as it makes it, so a statement is Held or Ready by the time it reaches the list
HeldThe check found a blocking hold. The statement has no document, never batches, and waits on the Statement Review queue
ReadyPassed the check, and waits for the next batch
SentLeft in a batch. Only the bill-to can change now, and editing it asks first
VoidWithdrawn. Kept for the audit trail; the balance stays on the account

The notice ladder. A run moves an account up one rung at a time, and only once the cadence has passed since its previous statement.

  • Empty - the list says the statement cycle creates statements, or generate one from a patient.
  • No statement cycle is scheduled - a banner, with Schedule one linking to Schedules. Not a fault: generating one statement at a time is a legitimate way to work.
  • Statement cycle running - a banner with the start time, while the button reads Cycle running….
  • A dash on a tile - that count could not be read.
  • We couldn’t load statements - with a retry.
  • Blocked - without the statements module the screen is not in the sidebar, and a saved link to it says the module is not part of your plan.
