monthly statements

I have been having an issue with creating monthly statements. I will "create" over 100 when I should only have 50 or so. I have statements being generated when a pt has a credit, and it shows they owe, instead of a credit. I have to physically look over each one to make sure it is a valid statement. Anyone else having this issue? HELP!

Yeah, we run into this all the time. We usually determine this happens because payments were not properly applied. If you have $100 in charges and $100 in payments, but they aren't all applied to the correct charges, then a statement will still generate for the patient.

Any suggestions? I would love to know how to stop wasting all that paper, toner and time.

All payments have to be applied to the charge that they are supposed to go to and marked complete. If it is a patient payment, there is the apply to oldest button which helps. Setting up remittance auto posting will automate the posting of electronic remittances from your clearinghouse. Medisoft v21 has a write-off utility which will let you automatically write everything off prior to a specified date.
