How To Post A Patient's Payment

Go to Barnestom Office Accounts Receivable > Post Payments > Post Paper Remittances tab.
Enter chart number for the patient or search and select by name (depending on which bullet is selected).
The patient’s A/R history will appear on the screen. Locate the month for the payment and click on the line that holds the balance.
The Add/Edit Accounts Receivable screen will appear. Update the Transaction Date, if needed.
At Amount # 1, you will enter the payment amount and the proper payment code. A default code may appear if one has been assigned to the payer. If not, search for the name by description or enter the three-digit code.
At Amount # 2, you will enter the adjustment amount and the proper adjustment code. (Skip this section, if there are no adjustments to be made.)
There is a comments section for special notes. It is common to add notes regarding specific dates that were paid.
Click Save. Continue this process with the next patient (or payment) until all payments have been entered.
Once you have entered all payments select View Detail to verify your postings are correct.
Then continue downward and select Print.
Select View Totals to verify totals are correct.
Select Approve Totals.
Select Post Entries (A box will appear "Posting is complete.").
Select Refresh A/R Detail to view your changes.

Print A New Statement:

Barnestorm Office > Accounts Receivable > Reports.
Select 05.37 Balance Forward Statement.
At Starting Year/Month of Bill = This defaults to the patients admission month/year.
At Ending Year/Month of Bill = Select your ending year/mo of service. Leave as the current year/mo to capture all charges/payments to appear on statement.
Pay/Adj Codes to Ignore = Type in those payment/adjustment codes you want to exclude from the statement.
If you have multiple payers, and you want both to appear on the statement, select the box beside Allow Multiple payers, select those payers in the payers box.
You also have the option to edit/change the Statement Trailer Text before printing off your statement. NOTE: This does not change the "general" statement for your agency. For steps on how to change/edit the "overall agency statement/text," click here.
