Print Transmission Journal

With the Print Transmission Journal function, you can print a detailed report of the claims that have been transmitted electronically to the insurance carriers. You should print this report after the Prepare/Send Transmission File function is complete. For additional information, see the Processing Insurance Claims Flowchart under the Billing, Insurance Billing Functions section of Help.

NOTE: The difference between this report and the Transmission File is that the Transmission File contains claim information for the current file only (the file that has not been sent). After claims are sent, they are moved into the Transmission Journal and stored by the date they were created. If the Move/Re-Build Transmission File function is performed, the file will still be stored with the original date that the file was created.

Upon accessing this function, the Print Transmission Journal screen displays with blank data fields.
