GENERAL LEDGER JOURNALS
There are two basic types of reports you can produce
with this option:
1. You can select a specific transaction code for a
given period of time. This provides you with the ability
to view how many times a given procedure was performed,
and how much money was earned.
2. You can select all entries for a given period of
time. This is the Journal Format of this option and can
be used to interface with Ledger System. When you request
this option you are provided with the added option to
include, or ignore, transactions that have been reported
on before. If you chose to ignore transactions that have
been reported on before you are requesting a Journal that
will show only new transactions. At the end of processing
of this request you are provided the option to set a flag
on these transactions to indicate that they have been
reported on. Use of this selection, and flag setting,
option allows you to create journals that show only those
transactions newly posted and never recorded in your
Ledger before. By selecting the option to include all
transactions you can produce a recap of prior journals
for any give time period.
In addition to producing you a Journal listing the
MED#1 system also creates a transaction file for all of
the entries reported upon by the Journal. This file
named MEDGL.DBF that is used to create the fore mentioned
Journal listing. This file can also be passed on to
another system for actual posting of your journal
entries. (Note - Be careful how you use this extracted
information. Be sure to set flags for those postings that
are passed on to a Ledger system. Otherwise repeated
requests for extraction of transactions for a given
period will give you just that - duplicate extractions.
It is up to you to insure that no duplicates are passed
on to any external accounting system.)
There are three sections to the 'Journal Listing'
that is produced: 1) Charges, 2) Recap of Taxable Sales,
and 3) Receipts and Adjustments. When you request the
option to print a 'Journal Listing' you are provided the
option to not print that section of the report related to
taxable sales. If you do not have any taxable sales then
do not request this section of the listing.
MEDshare is developing a special General Ledger
system that will accept the Journal file created by this
report. All registered users of MED#1 will be notified
when this module is available.

AGED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Your AGED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE listing provides a
breakdown of the current status of your Accounts
Receivables. (NOTE: You should always run (A)ged
accounts before you run statements.) This report can be
ran at any time in either of two sequences: by ACCOUNT
number, or by account last name. When you request this
report you are prompted to enter two dates: date #1 = the
date you last selected statements, date #2 = the current
period ending date to be used. This date range provides:
a) All transactions after the entered period ending
date will be ignored and not considered in this report.
b) All transactions prior to, and including, last
statement date are used only to calculate the aged
balance of each account.
c) All transactions between these dates are
considered as current postings form which all receipts
will be listed in detail. This receipts listing will aid
you in monitoring your accounts willingness to pay. You
should find this a valuable feature for those accounts
having a balance over 60 days old.
The optional listing of zero and credit balance accounts
will allow you to control the size (number of patients,
or accounts, listed) of your Aged Receivables report. At
the end of the report you are provided with two sets of
totals: a) a set of totals for the patients, or accounts,
listed on the report, and b) a set of totals that show
the total accounts receivable currently on file. We
recommend that you run a complete report at the end of
the year so that you have a listing of all accounts you
have performed services for.

STATEMENTS
STATEMENTS can be printed at any time. Transactions
posted after the current statement period ending date are
not considered for processing. You have the option of
using either custom statement forms, or they can be
printed on standard 8 1/4" by 11" paper. (Custom forms
are available from MEDshare.)
You are also given the following options:
1.) Printing statements for a given billing cycle. Each
patient, and account, can be assigned to a specific
billing cycle (see screen #3 of patient maintenance). You
can then limit your statements to only those patients, or
accounts, for a specific billing cycle. One possible use
is to give a specific billing cycle code to patients that
are assigned to insurance coverage. In this manner these
patients would only receive statements when you
specifically request then. (Note: Billing cycle codes are
printed on your Aged Receivables report directly below
the patient/account number.)
2) printing statements for a limited account number
range. If you only need a statement for a single,
specific, account then enter that account number for both
the starting, and ending, account number range
parameters. (NOTE: Statements are always printed in
account sequence. Also remember that if this patient, or
account, is assigned a billing cycle code you must also
enter this code in order for the statement to be
printed.)
2) printing debit balance accounts. Within this option
you can limit the printing of statements to only those
accounts having a debit balance above a given minimum
dollar value. With this option you can save the cost of
handling statements that will cost you more than you will
receive.
3.) printing zero balance accounts.
4.) and, printing credit balance accounts.
(Note - If you answer 'N' to all of these options then
the request to print statements will be canceled.)
You identify the transactions to be printed on each
statement by identifying the last statement date and the
current period ending statement date. All transactions
prior to, and including, the last statement date will be
considered as balance forward only and will not be listed
on the statement. Only those transactions afte
