Pre-Paid Amounts Report

Run a Pre-Paid Amounts report to obtain a list of patients that have either overpaid their accounts, or have paid more than the current amount due on the balance of their account. The report can be viewed either in summary form, with all amounts totaled, or in detail form, listing each patient's data.

note

This report only shows transactions that appear on finalized transaction reports: This means that today's payments won't be on the report until your daily transactions have been finalized.

Run This Report

  1. Open the Report​

    • Home ribbon bar > Reporting section > Reporting > Financial > Pre-Paid Amounts > Run. (You can also use the Search field to find the report you want to work with.) You might also be able to run this report from your Recent Reports or Quick Reports list. See "Run Edge Cloud Reports" for details.

  2. Report Settings​

    • Select the options to use for choosing records and generating this report. Choose carefully, as your selections will affect which patients are included in the report. (If the settings panel is not visible, click the Show/Hide icon in the upper left corner of the Reporting window.)

    Include Insurance Contracts - Enable this option to include insurance payments as well as payments made by responsible parties.

    Office - Choose to include only the records for a specific office, or include the records for all office locations in your practice.

    Orthodontist / Doctor - Choose to include only the records for a specific orthodontist / doctor, or include the records for all orthodontists in your practice.

  3. Subgroup - You can optionally choose a subgroup to use to narrow the records to include on the report. Only records that fit your selected subgroup as well as all other report settings will be included. If you use a subgroup, the report will display the name of your selected subgroup just under the report name, so you know which criteria was used to generate the results. See "Subgroup Editor" for details.about creating subgroups.

  4. View Results - If needed, click View at the top of the report settings panel to view the results on your screen. When you run a report or form from your Recent Report list, or when you run a Quick Report, the initial results are sent to your screen immediately, with one exception: A Quick Report that has the Print Only option enabled will not show your results on the screen at all, but continue with the printing options.

  5. Manage Options and Output - With the results on your screen, you can choose the output with the toolbar at the top of the report window. See "Report Output Options" for details.

More Information

Report Title & Header - Whether you view the report on your screen or print it, the report title and run date appear in the header of each report page.
