Send Billing Statements
Send statements and confirm delivery and collections behavior.
Steps
- Open Billing and go to Statements.
- Select the patient accounts (or the statement batch) you want to send.
- Confirm the statement details:
- Due date and messaging stage
- Delivery method (text/email/paper)
- Send the statements.
- Monitor responses and payments as they come in.
What Happens Next
- Patients receive the statement through the selected channel(s).
- Payments and responses move patients through your messaging/collection stages.
- When a payment is made, activity should sync based on your normal billing + PMS sync behavior.
You’ll Know It Worked When
- The statement shows as sent (and the patient is in the expected stage).
- You see delivery status (where available) and/or the patient receives the message.
- Payments or responses show up against the correct patient/account.
Common Issues
- Patient says they didn’t receive it: confirm the contact method on file (phone/email) and resend.
- Wrong balance: verify the balance sync source (PMS/Sikka/etc.) and refresh before re-sending.
- Payment posted but balance didn’t update: check sync timing and reconcile the patient ledger.
