HOW TO BILL PATIENTS

ADD A PATIENT STATEMENT BILL BATCH

To start a new bill run, click on the [+] icon on your Navigation Bar. You will see the message “Do you want to start a new bill run?”. If you answer YES it will create a blank screen ready for you to enter data. Under Bill Type – choose the type of bill batch as REGULAR.

Next choose Bill To –

PATIENT STATEMENTS – If you select this entry, it will create patient statements for all or some of your patients. The Patient Statements in TPS 2000 work similarly to your credit card statements. They will show all activity that has happened in the patient’s account since the last time you processed a statement for this patient.

Level – Not used in Patient Statement Processing.

Bill Date will default to Today’s Date, this may be changed if you wish, by clicking on the small calendar to the right of the date entry.

Minimum Bill Amount – Not used in Patient Statement Processing.

Maximum Bill Amount – Not used in Patient Statement Processing.

End Date – This defaults to yesterday’s date, however, it may be changed if you wish, by clicking on the small calendar to the right of the date entry.

Once you have filled in the above settings click on CREATE BILLS…

You will now be on the selection screen for carrier billing. From here you may select all or only some doctors for billing.

Next, click on the Select Patients Tab. Now click on ALL or some of the patients for whom you wish to process this bill batch.

At the bottom of your screen is a button titled CREATE BILLS. Click on this button when you have made the above selections.

Once the bills display the column on the left is the PRINT selector. If there is an arrow in this column the bill is set to print. You may control which bills print (including all) by clicking on the individual bills or using the Print Selection buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Remember: The Patient Statement process is much like that of your Credit Card company. It is a statement of the patient’s account since the last statement was processed. It is not necessarily a bill. If you wish to easily select only those patients that have an expected amount due, click on [Expected>0.00] in the print selections.
