This update introduces a refinement to the Ledger Report released earlier and adds a minor adjustment to the Ledger for carrier payments by credit card.

Ledger Report Enhancement

This release introduces a new Include Payments/Adjustments checkbox to the Ledger Report options.

In the last release, the Ledger Report included all completed procedures, payments, adjustments, and claims. In this release, the new Include Payments/Adjustments checkbox gives you the option to include or exclude that information from the patient’s Ledger Report.

Note: By default, Include Payments/Adjustments is selected.

When Include Payments/Adjustments is selected, the following items appear on the Ledger Report:

• Completed procedures
• Payments
• Adjustments
• Claims
• Balance Forward
• Balance as of [date]

When Include Payments/Adjustments is not selected, only completed procedures appear on the Ledger Report.

Edit Claim Payment Modification

Because our third-party provider, WorldPay, does not return a cardholder name when you process an insurance carrier credit card payment, the Edit Claim Payment window will no longer include the Cardholder Name field for this transaction type.
