Balancing Charges Entered to Fee Tickets
To balance charges entered in to the system to fee tickets, run the Daily Charges report. This report is a line item report of charges entered for the day by service item. The default sorting configuration for the report is set to sort by: Location name Encounter/Invoice number Service item Totals display for charge amount, with a subtotal for each location, and grand total of all locations. The Daily Charges report enables you to total the Count column of the report using the Totals tab on the Report Filter. Since the Count column is the Quantity of SIMS per charge, this gives you the total number of units for all charges. NextGen Healthcare recommends that you only choose one of the Filter 1 date ranges (create date, process date, or service 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 Charge report should balance to the Monthly Service Item Summary with Extended Amount report
