SUMMARY:

This report provides full details of all Bulk Claim Fees - such as those generated by Bulk Billing, or billing the Department of Veterans' Affairs - generated within the period between the 'From:' and 'To:' dates specified below.

REPORT OUTPUT:

For each transaction, the report details:

o      Claim Number: The Online Claiming claim ID for the claim to which the fee is attached;

o      Claim Type: Bulk Bill / DVA / and so forth;

o      Patient Name: The name of the patient for whom the service was provided;

o      Item Number: The MBS item number of the service that was provided;

o      Visit Date: The date recorded in the Visit window, of the visit that was entered;

o      Fee: The dollar amount that was charged for the service; and

o      GST: The dollar amount of GST that was added to the Fee, where applicable.

Totals are provided for each Claim Type, practitioner and Location.

By default, a separate page will be printed for each practitioner, but you may choose to print this as a summary for the whole Practice, by selecting 'No' where it says 'Page per practitioner'.

DATE SELECTION:

It is recommended that you use Report Date as the Date Selection, as this is a value that cannot be modified, ensuring integrity of the report.  That is, if you print the report for a given date range today, and then print it again in twelve months' time, for the same date range, then the two versions of the report will be identical, no matter what reversals may be applied to the invoice in future reporting periods.  In terms of this report, the term 'Report Date' refers to the date of entry of the invoice.

'Entry Date' and 'Report Date' only differ in relation to Bulk Billed or Vet Affairs visits and Held Accounts.  The Entry Date of a voucher or held account is the date the individual voucher was entered into Pracsoft, or the date the account was put on hold.  In these cases, the Report Date refers to the date on which the voucher was batched in a claim, or the held account was printed on a tax invoice.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:

The Additional tab, below, includes a number of other options:

• Include Adjustments - this option is checked by default, to include adjustment records in the report output.  If you prefer to exclude adjustments, you can click the box to uncheck it.

• Item No(s) - this option allows you to enter a specific item number to base the report on.  If you enter an item number, then the report will only show you Fees for that item.  If you wish to specify multiple item numbers, you must separate them with commas.

• Institution - this option is disabled for this report.
