Adjustments by Line Item Report
The Adjustments by Line Item report is a line item report showing all adjustments for a specified time frame. It is sorted by location name, posting date, batch date, and batch number. Totals are for adjustment amount, with a subtotal for each posting date within each location, subtotal for each location, and grand total of all locations.
NextGen Healthcare recommends that you only choose one of the Filter 1 date ranges (posting date, process date, or transaction date) to generate a meaningful report.
To show the process date, be sure to specify the Process Date rather than the create date on the Filter 1 tab.
The Daily Adjustments, and ,Payments, and Refunds Reports balance to the Monthly Transaction reports. They do not balance to the adjustments, payments and refunds columns in the Monthly Service Item Summary report. This is because the Daily reports show unapplied amounts, while the Monthly Service Item report does not. Also, the Service Item Summary report is a charge-based report and only pulls transactions based on the charge date range, while the daily reports are transaction based and pull all transactions within the specified date range.
To access the report in NextGen® Enterprise PM, select the Reports menu and select Daily, then select By Line Item, and then select Adjustments.
From the Report Filter window, select the Info button to view the following information about the report:
- The report will return one line for each line item posted within the transaction. For example, if an encounter has three charges and a transaction is spread against all three charges, this report will return three lines, one for each line item.
- Transactions are reported against the Payer/Financial class of the Payer on the transaction.
- Post Date is hard-coded and stamped by the system when the transaction batch is posted.
- Process Date is derived from the Batch Header when the batch is created. If this is left blank, the system will populate the process date with the posting date.
- Trans Transaction Date can be set at the Batch Header or overridden in transaction entry by the user.
- End user productivity.
- Reviewing payments by specific payers.
- Respective amounts on the Daily Activity report when run with the same filters.
- Respective amounts on the Monthly Changes in A/R report if run by Process Date filter.
