VIEWING BILLING DATA FOR SERVICES

You do have the ability to see when each line of service was billed and whether or not it was a carrier or a patient bill batch. Open a patient’s ledger. Now open the Financial Transaction Browser (ALT F8). This brings up a screen showing “hidden” data. Click once on the line of service in which you wish to check the billing. Look in the detail area at the bottom of the screen. For this service, you will see a button [BILL INFO]. Click on this button. You will see all dates (if any) of bills which include this service date. It will look something like the following screen:

In the first line above, you see a value in the CAR_NUM field. This means that this was a carrier bill batch. The second line above shows a “null” or No Value in the CAR_NUM field. This means that this was a Patient Bill batch.
