Basic Billing Reports

Reporting is knowledge, and knowledge provides you with the information you need to analyze your practice.  Valant provides you with an abundance of reports to use daily, weekly and monthly.  These sections will provide you with some basic reports that you will want to begin running as soon as you start billing in Valant. 

Pending Insurance Claims

The Pending Insurance Claims Report is a Billing Report in System Reports that is used to see which claims are in Valant and pending insurance submission. Charges that have been created and set to be billed to an insurance payor will show on this report. This will include charges that show as yellow in View/Edit Charges. The filters on the report allow you to filter by specific Insurance Payor, Facility, Patient, Provider or Responsible Payer (Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary). Apply filters and click Preview.

This report is useful to find claims that are pending insurance submission, and can also be useful to run before submitting claims to see which claims are going to be submitted. If a claim is appearing on this report and not being send when creating a batch of claims for electronic claim submission it is always good to check and make sure that the EDI Payor ID is added for the insurance company. This is a common issue when practices are trying to send a claim for a newly added insurance company.

Integrated CC Transactions

This requires the Report Center module.

The Integrated CC Transactions report is a report that is available in the Report Center that shows the user a list of transactions with integrated credit card processing in Valant IO. The report can be found under Reports | Report Center | Integrated CC Transactions.

The report has two grouping options: 

Transactions: this grouping will show all Elavon transactions. The date range filter used is the Transaction Date Range.

Transactions & Charges: this grouping displays the dollar portion of the transaction that was applied to the associated charge.

This report will post details about transactions and include transaction date, amount, and transaction status. If the report is grouped by "Transactions & Charges", the credit card payments applied to the charge will appear below the transaction line in a grey row. If the report is grouped by "Transactions", the credit card payments applied to the charge will not show on the report. The Patient ID is a hyperlink that can be clicked to go directly to View/Edit Charges for the patient. The Tx Origin (a column to the far right of the report) will identify if payment was made by the practice (Auto CC) or patient portal (Online Bill Pay). The report shows the last four numbers of the card. 

In the shaded area above the report data, there are a number of filters available to narrow down the list of payments if desired. 

Note: This report will only show transactions from Valant IO. Also, this report may show credit card credits of negative amounts, in the event there is a failed credit being applied to a card.
