There are several settings you can select for your Client Balance Statements to make them reflect as little or as much information as desired.
Custom Payment Amount
The patient/client can now write in a custom payment amount in the PLEASE FILL OUT IF PAYING BY CARD section of the printed Client Statement.
Client Balance Statement Settings
- First, navigate to Billing > Bill Client > Balance Statement and click the Settings button.
- A new window will appear. Let's break down each section of this window.
Basic Information
This section control was basic, low-level information is displayed on a statement, ranging from your clinic Tax ID to Session Classes.
Mid-Level Information
The CSV Export setting is typically used by third-party statement companies. If your clinic handles client billing in-house, you can ignore this setting.
Any client payment that has been posted in the last 30 days will appear on the statement if the Show Recent Client Pmts option is set to Yes.
The Session Length Units should always be set to Units as WebPT Daily Notes are based in units.
Service Level
Below are the recommended settings to ensure that all service lines show on a statement. If you ever want to provide a clearer statement that only shows lines with a balance, simply check the Balance Due box.
Grouping the charges by status allows the client to see what charges are due by them and what charges are still due by the insurance. If a client does not want to see charges that are pending insurance, select Yes on the Hide Open/Pending Sessions option.
Printing Options
If you would like to give your client the option to pay by credit card, select Yes for Show Credit Card Payment Option and select which type of Credit Cards are accepted. Remember, this will only show if the statement is created as an Invoice.
You can show your clients how long previous balances are overdue by using the Show Aging Summary option. If the feature is set to Yes, you will need to indicate how you want to age the summary
- DOS: Sort the balances into 30-day buckets based on the Date of Service
- First Inv Date: Balances are sorted into 30-day buckets based on the date the charge was first invoiced to the client.
Lastly, you can also highlight a specific 30-day bucket to emphasize a specific overdue amount.
Remit Address
If this option is set to Yes, then the system will use your Account Billing Address by default. This address can be found under Admin > Member Info. You can also add up to 2 additional lines, such as a phone number or email address.
If you have entered a facility under the Defaults tab on a client's chart, use the Client Default Facility option for a remit address. For clients without a default facility, the Account Billing Address will be used.
The last option is to use a Custom Address. This custom remit address field is useful if the From address is the clinic's address, but you want the client to send the payment to a different address.
Save Settings
Once selections have been updated, make sure to select Save Settings at the bottom.
