Encounters Summary Report

 

Encounter Summary Report.jpg

Report Purpose

This report provides the practice with a snapshot of the service encounters performed within a designated reporting period.

Value

Enables you to view a summary of the activity performed by each provider and displays the corresponding procedures, charges, adjustments and receipts as well as a summary of the patient, insurance and total outstanding balances.

Common Use

Generate this report as part of a period end (day, month, quarter or year) to gain a summary view of the service encounters. Generating the report for past periods allows an assessment of the practice's collections success and helps determine the remaining balances for an historical period.

Kareo PM Recommendation

Use this report to capture the overall period activity. The biggest benefit of this report is measuring how well the practice has collected on previous service encounters by generating for periods 120 days or greater.
