Filter Options

When you first select the Posted Date Day Sheet, you have the opportunity to filter the results you want to see.

You can filter the report information by provider and office by selecting specific providers/offices in the lists at the top. The report will give you information only for the providers and offices selected.

For production, the Provider/Office pulls from the information listed in the New Charge window. For tax, it is based on the provider in the Charge window for which tax is charged.

Open

For positive adjustments, the provider and office information pulls from the Provider/Office listed on the charge associated with the positive adjustment.

Open

For deposits, negative adjustments and refunds, the Provider/Office pulls from on the Provider/Office listed in the Payment window.

For finance charges, the Provider/Office pulls from the provider listed in the patient's Account tab; however, the provider and office may be overridden by editing the finance charge directly on the patient's Account Ledger.

Show Menu and Start/End Date

The Show menu allows you to quickly select a time period for which to view summaries. The options under this menu are Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last 60 Days, and Last 90 Days. Selecting any of these options automatically fills out the appropriate Start and End dates.

If you prefer, you also can manually enter dates into the Start Date and End Date fields. This will show summaries for all the days between the Start and End dates.
NOTE: Even days with no activity will show up in a report. If a day has no activity you will see 0.00 listed in all columns of the summary.

Once you have set the appropriate filters, click the Apply button to see results.

Results

Initially, you will be presented with a line summarizing all transactions for the day. The first column shows the posted date of all transactions. The posted date reflects the day the items were entered into MacPractice and cannot be edited.

The second column, after the Posted Date column, shows production for the day. Production reflects all charges entered for the day. Taxes, finance charges and positive adjustments are not counted as production. If you are using any of the Provider and/or Office filters, production will be filtered based on the provider listed in the Charge window. 

• Tax: Reflects the amount of sales tax charged that day. The rate at which items are taxed is set in the References ability, by selecting Tax Rate from the sidebar. Click the plus button to create additional sales tax rates. Whether or not tax is charged is determined by whether or not the Taxable checkbox is checked in the Charge window. The rate charged is determined by the rate selected from the pop up menu. Like production, information on tax is filtered by the Charge provider.

• Adjustments (+): Shows all positive adjustments made for the day. The associated provider is based on the provider listed in the Charge window for the charges associated with the adjustment.

• Write-Offs: This column gives the total of all write-offs entered for the day for all payments. This information is filtered by the provider listed on the payment associated with the write-off.

• Refunds: Shows the total of all refunds and reversed payments issued that day. This column filters by the provider listed in the Payment window of the payment associated with the refund. The associated provider is the provider listed when the refund was issued. If the provider was changed after the refund was issued, the refund will maintain the previous provider.

• Deposits: Reflects all payments entered for the day and is filtered by the provider listed in the Payment window. The deposits total reflects both applied and unapplied amounts.
  NOTE: Negative adjustments and write-offs do not count towards deposits.

• Unapplied: Shows you the amount of payments entered for the day that were not applied towards a charge. This associated provider is based on the provider listed in the Payment window.

• Finance Charge: Reflects all finance charges charged for the day. The finance charge is filtered by the provider selected on the patient's Account tab; however, the provider and office may be overridden by editing the finance charge directly on the patient's Account Ledger. 

• Gross Adjustment (-): This column reflects all negative adjustments entered for the day. This column counts both applied and unapplied negative adjustments.

This window will show you which patients and accounts had transactions entered. There are several filters that can be applied to the Detail view if you want to see only transactions of a certain type. These are detailed in the View Options menu. When you first open the report, it will default to View All. 

View All

The View All selection under the View Options pop-up menu will show you all activity from that day. In this view, you will be able to see all transactions entered, including:

Using the Sort By menu, you can choose to sort the view by Account (patient's account number), Name (patient's name for procedures and primary's name for payments), or the order the transactions were entered into the system. 

You also can filter the results to show only a single user's actions, by selecting that user from the View User menu.

In the main portion of the detail window, you will see a breakdown of that day's activity.

• Number: The first column in this view shows you the account number associated with the transaction. If the transaction was associated to a specific patient, it will show the full account number for that patient (such as 123-1). If the transaction was associated to the account as a whole, in the case of payments and negative adjustments, it only will show the main account number (such as 123).

• Patient/Primary Name: The next column shows the name associated with the transaction. It will show the patient's name for patient-specific transactions, and the primary's name for any payments or negative adjustments, as these are applied at the account level. The primary's name will even be shown if it is a payment from the secondary's insurance.

• Transaction: The third column gives you a description of the transaction. If the transaction was a procedure, it will show the procedure code. If the transaction was a payment, it will tell you what kind of payment it was, (such as Insurance, Check, Cash, and so on).

For procedures, this will reflect the provider and office entered in the New Charge window.

• User ID: The User ID column shows the two character unique User ID of the user who entered that item.

The bottom of the report shows a total for each of the columns.

Below this is information on the total deposit for the day, which is a total of all payments. The Accounts Receivable information always reflects the current A/R in your MacPractice database. Even if you are viewing a past day's report, the A/R reflects all transactions entered in the database. In MacPractice the A/R amount listed here is based on the following formula:

Below the preliminary A/R, you can see how much of the money owed is from production and how much is from finance charges. For this one instance, positive adjustments are counted as production. It also will break down what is owed by patient and insurance portions. The Finance Charge Balance reflects the total amount of finance charges open. This will match your A/R report, but may be different than your Day Sheet.

The report then subtracts the unapplied balance from the total owed, for the net A/R. If you are unsure about your A/R, you can use the following formula to determine the amount:
