Summary:
The client statement is a report that prints the current status of a patient’s account, such as a list of all fees paid and/or any fees unpaid. Statements are usually printed when you take a payment from a client or they can be printed in bulk and mailed to clients. Each line in the statement is a summation of one or more transactions that are associated with an individual session or billable event in the client’s chart. For example, one line on the statement may actually consist of three transactions; a copay, an insurance payment or a self pay from the client.
Note: For PIMSY Administrators,
-521 will allow the system to calculate a Due Date and place it on the printable statements. It will only show if the setting value is > 0.
-504, will allow the Global Statement to look more like the statement from the Co-Pay screen. (more consolidated).
-578 will allow you to control how both the statement header and receipt headers will look. When True the system will use the Default location on the Client for the address on the header of both the statements and the receipts. A setting of False will use the Default location address for the practice.
-534 will allow you to hide various columns in the Main Statement Report. Place the EXACT column header name in the setting separated by commas to hide a particular column.
-529 when True will include the provider name in with the Service Information on the Main Client Statement Report
-576 sets one day per month when the statement data will be compiled.
Users can check the box in the Statements window to view the data last compiled.
-578 uses the default location on the client in the header on printable statement reports and receipts.

This is customizable through the company Documents under Organization Management. Be sure to make the image document Active in order for it to appear on the statements.

STATEMENT FAQS
I brought up one PDF report that had a blank page in the middle?
The page breaks occur in the printable statement based on what is in the different sections. It most likely couldn’t fit the entire image at the bottom and had to push it down.
If I select a client and click on View Individual, why isn’t there a report or print button?
You need to filter for that client to print one statement at a time from the main area. The View Individual button allows the user to see all the individual transactions that were used to make up that particular line on the statement. One line may have a co-pay, self-pay, and several claims to insurance.
What are the differences between full and lite statements?
The lite statement has less information, such as insurance payments or denials, and is mostly about what the client owes.
Use Case:
A client at the ABC Therapeutic Group is in the office and has asked for a current statement of his account for his records. The PIMSY staff accesses the Statement from the Financial menu and prints it for the client. They can also access statements from other areas of PIMSY, such as the My Sal Calendar appointment, client’s chart, Take a Payment screen, etc.
