The Insurance Aging Analysis – Age Responsible Balances Only report repeats the charge lines for as many buckets in balance control that have a balance. For example, if a charge has an amount in the insurance 1 bucket and a patient bucket, the report lists the same charge on two lines. One line displays the amount for the insurance 1 bucket - along with the payer name and financial class of the primary payer name - and the other line displays the patient amount with the payer name and financial class listed as self pay.
To access the report in NextGen® Enterprise PM, select the Reports menu and select Accounts Receivable, then select Collections, and then select Insurance Aging Analysis - Age Responsible Balances Only.
From the Report Filter window, selectInfo to view the following information about the report:
Logic:
- This report repeats the charge lines for each bucket in Balance Control that has a balance. For example, if a charge has balances in the Ins1 bucket and the Pat bucket, the report lists the same charge on two (different) lines. One line displays the amount for Ins1 Amt bucket - along with the payer name and financial class of the primary payer - and the other line displays the Pat Amt with the payer name and financial class listed as self-pay.
- Since a specific charge can be listed more than once, the summing of some of the columns by default was taken out because the amount will be inflated.
- For example, Chg Amt, Count and Line Itm Amt are not summed on the report. The aging buckets are not inflated because each row on the report only pertains to a single balance control bucket. The Rendering and Location are from the charge since it is charge based.
Filtering Info:
- Runs only by Process Date (As Of Date).
- Aging Dates determine in which aging bucket balances will reside.
- Encounter Statuses:
- If running for balancing purposes, include all statuses.
- If running for A/R purposes, include Billed, Unbilled and Rebill.
Common Uses:

- Work outstanding A/R.
Balances to the Following Reports:
- Balances to the following reports if all statuses are included:
- Monthly Changes in AR.
- Aging Analysis By Encounter.
