Don’t you just love this time of year . . . tax season!  Patients are calling in asking for a printout of

I want to try and make it easy for you.  Instead of printing an account ledger, which can be extremely confusing to patients, I am going to show you two alternative options. You can also use the second option for patients who are looking for statements to report to their HSA accounts.

The first option is if the patient does not need the year-end statement to have ADA codes. Open the Ledger > File > Search Payments. This will open a new window where you will select the parameters for your search (date range, guarantor name, payment types, etc.), then select Print.

The second option is if you need a payment history that includes ADA codes (most HSA plans want the ADA codes included). First, go to the Office Manager > Maintenance > Practice Setup > Preferences and make sure the “use ADA codes in description” is checked. Next, from the Office Manager > Reports > Billing, we are going to create a customized billing statement as a year-end print out.
