  • Patient/Insurance Paid: Reflects payments applied towards the charge. These numbers will not match deposits, gross receipts, or earned receipts, as each of those reports figure their date range on different criteria.

  • Payment: Reflects payments applied towards charges performed in the month. These numbers will not match deposits, gross receipts, or earned receipts, as each of those reports figure their date range on different criteria. However, it should equal the sum of the Patient Paid and Insurance Paid columns.

  • Tooth/Surface: In MacPractice DDS, there will be a final column at the far right that displays the tooth number and surface associated to the charge.
