What transaction do the cash reports include?

Does the cash reports include insurance or everything else collected (copay, late fees etc) other than insurance payments?

If it includes insurance, how can the cash report for a specific month be more than the aging report for that same month?

Hi @topnoch
The cash reports have quite a lot of things in them.
Rather than me trying to describe everything you should probably look in the OpenEMR public demo
https://ten.openemr.io/c/openemr/index.php

on the main menu at ‘Reports/ Financial’ and go through what all they show.

Are you saying that you are amazed that the cash report for a specific month can be more than the ageing report for that month, or you are wondering how to make it so?

And I’m not representing myself as being able to answer that question, but asking it for the benefit of any others who may know the answer.

Hi Harley,

Thanks for responding. Correct, after running through several reports, and reviewing results, I am asking how this occurrence can be so.

As I say, I’m not a billing person but does the ageing report not list the accounts that are a certain number of days delinquent? And the cash report is how much cash was taken in for that month?
Seems to me that it would be a likely scenario if most patients kept their accounts up to date by paying in full on the appointment date, and very few were allowed to become delinquent.
Just thinking!
