I wonder if there is some report that shows me the history of a patient, especially the billing history.
I know that I can view the past encounters and see all visits but that does not contain any financial data, and I also know the billing manager where I can select a patient and get all the billing history, but this is rather difficult for a front desk employee to handle he she wants to look up what a patient had paid for a specific procedure two years ago.
Is there an easy way to get to this kind of information?

Thanks - Merlin

The patient ledger option might be what you are looking for.

hmm, that’s not in the plain vanilla OpenEMR though, right?
Any other ideas for that functionality?

I was wrong - there IS the ledger!

It should be under reports and on the patient demographics (depending on the version of your software)
I also added a default start date to the globals and to the user preferences. I have the ladies who work the front desk , at my customers, set it to one day that way they can print it for that days services to give it to the patients.
