Numeric Aged A/R by Patient Balance

With the Numeric A/R by Patient Balance function, you can generate a report that provides a detailed aging of account balances sorted in numerical order by the guarantor's account number. The aging is calculated based on the date the transactions became the responsibility of the patient and were moved to the Patient Balance column.
