, click Billing and select Billing Periods from the list displayed.Note: If you cannot access Billing Periods, you may need to contact QHR to get this feature enabled.
Billing Periods is accessed through the Billing section of Accuro and can only be enabled by QHR Development.
Once enabled, clients create billing periods. The first period must include EVERY date up until the end of the last fiscal year. Monthly/bi-weekly etc. thereafter they only need to include the first date to the last date of the current billing period. The user must close periods in chronological order.
The first period (including ALL previous dates) may take up to 20 minutes to close.
Note: Billing Periods only affects reporting.
Once a period is closed anything that is billed after the fact for that DOS (Date Of Service) range is included in the next period as an adjustment.
If your site had Billing Periods enabled and payments are applied to private bills with a date in the future, a warning message is displayed, "This claim has a date of service in the future, do you still want to apply your payment?" This payment will not show up when looking at the current Billing Period because the claim does not have a date in the current Billing Period.
Gross Billed Amount and Gross Tax Amount are now included on bills for sites with Billing Periods enabled. These fields are completed when the bill is first submitted or included on an invoice. The Gross Billed Amount is also displayed when viewing a Claim History for a patient.
