Medical Billing Tip of the Month: Efficiently Handling Patient Balances in Kareo

admin June 13th, 2011

We are using Collection Category task in Kareo to track the status of patient balance more efficiently.  We have set the collection categories of:

  • First Statement
  • Second Statement
  • Payment Plan
  • Insurance require additional information
  • Move patient to collections 

Then, we have described applicable statement messages and alert messages for these collection categories; so that, once the appropriate collection category is applied to the patient, the corresponding statement message and alert message will be popped-up based on the setup made.   We also can generate the patient collection summary report to find out the balance that is placed in each collection category by running:

Reports
