Procedure Analysis by Billing Group

With the Procedure Analysis by Billing Group function, you can print a report that provides a detailed analysis, by billing group, of specific procedures performed by the practice. It reflects the total number of patient accounts and entries for the specified procedure code(s) that were performed during a specified range of dates. It may be printed in either detailed or summary format.

If you receive this Warning Message: 'The report is already running. Do you wish to restart it?', that means this function had been previously accessed but for some reason the report did not finish or a report is currently in the process of calculating.

Selecting Procedure Codes:
There are four methods available for selecting procedure codes.
You can use one of these methods or a combination of them to select the codes.

If you need to delete a code in the selected list, type the code in the individual procedure code box and click Delete at the bottom of the screen.

If you frequently run this report using the same procedure codes each time, you can save them in a Procedures list. This will allow you to use the pre-defined list in the future instead of entering each code individually. Type in a List Name and Description in the lower portion of the screen and click Save List, after you have selected all the codes. You may also merge the selected codes with an existing list or replace an existing list if needed.

Sample Report
The total number of patients and the total number of entries per procedure code will be printed for each billing group. For example: one patient could have three office visits during the time frame selected which would account for more entries than the number of patients. A summary page which reflects: the total procedure amount, the total amounts paid and adjusted, the total number of patients and entries per billing group will be printed at the end of the report. If 'Print Detail of Patients' was not selected, this summary page is the only page that will be printed.
