The Main Screen of the ezClaimBiller is divided into two primary sections:  the upper section is the Open Ledgers and the bottom is the Accounts Receivable (AR) List. Much like in a paper-based office, charts can be created and "opened". When in "opened" status, they display in the Open Ledgers. To avoid confusion, charts are called "Ledgers" in ezClaimBiller.

 

Open Ledgers Section

When you are doing work on a Ledger, it usually needs to be in "open" status (unless the you are opening just the FeeSlip via the Pending Payments screen). By double clicking on the patient name, you open the Ledger screen for that patient.

Action Note

If you double-click into the Last Action column, you will bring up the Action Note screen where you can indicate any billing status notes (for example: "Pending claim due to Medicare cross-over"). Each time you add more information the Action Date will update automatically. Note that if you overwrite prior text, it will be lost.

When you right-click the patient name, you can take two actions: (1) Pull the ledger into the upper Open Ledgers screen and (2) Delete the "Action Note" for the patient.
