Type: This column simply lists the payment type, as entered in References > Payment Type. This area will only list types that were associated to a payment during the selected date range.
Unapplied: This lists the amount of payments received during the time period that are not applied to charges.
Applied: The Applied column lists the amount of payments received during the selected period that have been applied to charges.
Refund: This column lists the amount of payments received during the selected date range that have been refunded. This column is based on the payment date, not the refund date. If a payment was received in January and refunded in March, it would show in the Refund column of the Gross Receipts report in January. This report also shows all refunds issued, including reversals and refunds of insurance payments to provider or patient. If you wish to view refunds by the refund date, use the Refunds report.
Total: The Total column lists the total money received of that payment type during the date range, regardless of applied/unapplied status. This number should equal the sum of the Unapplied, Applied and Refund columns.
% Total Receipts: This column shows the percentage of total receipts that are associated to the payment type, and also displays the information in bar graph form. This can be very helpful for determining where the majority of your office's payments come from, at a glance.
