Debtors Movement Report

A summary of the transactions that contributed to the movement in your practice’s patient accounts in a selected date range.

General Notes

  • For every transaction that affects the liabilities of invoice lines, an audit record is stored. This report uses these audit transactions as the basis for its calculations.
  • A limitation on the above: These audit records are only generated for transactions originating on Healthbridge Nova. This means that transactions imported from myMPS DO NOT form part of the report.
  • The data for this report will be based on the timestamp of when the transaction was CREATED in the database. I.e. the report cannot be generated on invoice date of service, and it doesn’t care about things like the payment date of a payment. We might be able to refine it later, but for the first version we are only concerned with the create date/time of the transaction in the audit table.
  • Only transactions that directly affect invoices are in the report. This means that things like unallocated payment parts, journals, and unreconciled RA payments are not part of the report calculations.
