Transactions by Encounter Summary Report
The Transactions by Encounter Summary report is a report identifying the primary payer of the encounter as the payer for the transaction. The primary payer attached to the encounter displays on the report regardless of the actual payer.
To access the report in NextGen® Enterprise PM, select the Reports menu and select Monthly, then select Transactions, then select By Encounter, and then select Summary.
From the Report Filter window, select the Info button to view the following information about the report:
Logic:
- Charges and Transactions display under the primary payer/financial class on the encounter.
- Charges are reported based on the dates specified in Filter 1.
- Transactions are reported based on the dates specified in Filter 1, regardless of when the associated charge was processed.
- Account and Budget payments/adjustments will report under an ‘Unknown’ payer/financial class.
- If no line item data is selected in the columns tab, the report will ‘roll up’ to the highest level. In other words, If only the Financial Class and Charge Amount columns are selected, all charges for each Financial Class will appear on a single line without all the detail.
Filtering Info:
- Charge Create Date is hard-coded and stamped by the system when the charge is entered.
- Charge Process Date is set as the system date, but can be overridden (with security) at charge entry by the user.
- Charge Service Date is entered during charge entry by the user.
- Trans Post Date is hard-coded and stamped by the system when the transaction batch is posted.
- Trans 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.
Common Uses:
- Review financial activity for a specific period by the primary payer on the encounter.
