13. Min Patient Balance              

 

13.1 Effective version 18.06.01 - New field.

 

13.2 In software versions prior to 18.06.01 when the Collection Report was generated, the program looked at the wrong field and also included credits. To correct this problem, the <Min Patient Balance> field was added. This field acts as a filter.

If instead of being populated with 50.00, as shown in the screen shot below, the <Min Patient Balance> field is left blank and the other fields are populated as shown below, the report looks for <Who> = G, a <From Date> between 01/01/17 and 3/31/17, and a debit balance in the <Patient> field greater than $0.
