Reporting on provider activity

Abstract

Capable 21C has the ability to report on the financial activity of any provider over any period of time. This can be useful if the owner of the business wishes to analyse a provider's performance or check the activity of a locum.  This knowledgebase article describes how to produce these kinds of reports.

Underlying challenge

Capable 21C can produce several reports at differing levels of detail.

Resolution

To obtain a summarised report of activity:

  1. Go to Management|Statistical Report.
  2. Key the range of dates required, and nominate the desired practitioner.
  3. Click Preview.

To obtain an itemised list of financial activity:

  1. Go to Management|Transaction Summary.
  2. Key the range of dates required, and nominate the desired practitioner.
  3. Click Preview.

To obtain an itemised list that also displays how credits have been cross assigned betweened multiple practitioners:

  1. Go to Management|Provider Pay Report
  2. Key the range of dates required, and nominate the desired practitioner.
  3. Click Preview.
  4. See the detailed information section (below) for an explanation of this report

Detailed Information

In the Management Menu, the Detailed Appointment Book Statistics, the Block Booking Report and the Appointment Book Report may also be useful.  Usage of these reports is similar to those shown above.

Explanation of Provider Pay Report

The Provider Pay Report is intended to help multi-practitioner offices keep track of which practitioner was paid for which service.  It shows several columns of information.  It is also broken into three main sections.  The first section is for payments assigned to the practitioner on the report.  The second section is for payments received by another practitioner, but where the service was rendered by the practitioner on the report.  The final section is a summary.

The meaning of the columns are as follows:

Amount
This column shows the value of the services (or products) sold on the day.

Prepay
If a payment was made that exceeded the services or products on the day (eg pushed the patient/client file into credit), it is considered a prepayment and the amount is shown in this column.

Prepay Consumed
If a prepayment was made previously (eg the patient/client file was in credit at the start of the day), and there was insufficient payment made on the day to cover the cost of the day's services, the amount of prepayment consumed is displayed in this column

Allocated to Same Prov
If a payment was made on the day, and that payment was explicitly allocated to a visit, and the payment was assigned to the same provider as the services rendered, the amount will appear in this column.

Allocated to Other Prov
If a payment was made on the day, and that payment was explicitly allocated to a visit, and the payment was assigned to a different provider to the one that rendered the services, the amount will appear in this column.  Note that this scenario usually indicates a patient/client file with a provider balancing issue.  Refer to KB-Payments across multiple practitioners.asp for more detail.

Unallocated with debts Same Prov
If a payment was made on the day, and that payment was not explicitly allocated to a particular visit, but where there was an outstanding debt from the same practitioner, the amount will appear in this column.

Unallocated with debts Other Prov
If a payment was made on the day, and that payment was not explicitly allocated to a particular visit, but where there was an oustanding debt from another practitioner, the amount will appear in this column.  Note that this scenario usually indicates a patient/client file with a provider balancing issue.  Refer to KB-Payments across multiple practitioners.asp for more detail.

At the end of the Provider Pay Report, the following summarisations appear:

Services rendered and products sold
This value is a summary total of the Amount column from the first section of the report.  Note that the second section of the report lists information for another practitioner that relate back to the practitioner for the report, so no values should appear in the Amount column in section 2.

Prepayments received
This value is a summary total of the Prepay column.  Note that prepayments are (by definition) not allocated to a visit yet, so no prepayments will appear in the second section of the report.

Prepayments consumed
This value is a summary total of the Prepay Consumed column.

Payments received allocated correctly
This value is a summary total of the Allocated to Same Prov column.  Note that by definition, there can be no amounts in section 2 of the report in this column.

Payments received allocated to visits by another provider
This value is a summary total of the Allocated to Other Prov column from section 1 of the report.  Note that whilst there may be amounts in this column in section 2, they are reported separately further down the summary.

Payments received not allocated, but with debt for same practitioner
This value is a summary total of the Unallocated with debts, same prov column.

Payments received not allocated, but with debt for another practitioner
This value is a summary total of the Unallocated with debts, other prov column from Section 1 of the report.  Note that whilst there may be amounts in this column in section 2, they are reported separately further down the summary.

Payments received by other providers allocated to visits with this provider
This value is a summary total of the Allocated to Same Other column from section 2 of the report (refer to Payments received allocated to visits by another provider above).

Payments received by other providers, not allocated, but with debt for this provider
This value is a summary total of the Unallocated with debts Other Prov column from section 2 of the report (refer to Payments received not allocated, but with debt for another practitioner above).

Payable Revenue
This figure is derived by adding together the 'Payments received allocated correctly', the 'Payments received not allocated, but with debt for the same provider', the 'Payments received by another provider assigned to visits with this provider', the 'Payments received by another provider, not allocated, but with debts for this provider', and finally by subtracting the 'Prepayments consumed'.  Note that because the prepayments consumed is typically a positive value, it will increase the large negative value printed as payable revenue.

The rationale behind the payable revenue is that the revenue relevant to the practitioner includes:

  1. Visits that this practitioner has performed that have been paid (with payments explicitly linked to them or otherwise).
  2. Visits that this practitioner has performed even where the payment was recorded against another practitioner.
  3. Prepayments that have been consumed by visits with this practitioner.

but the revenue figure should NOT include:

  1. Prepayments where the service has not been performed yet.
  2. Payments made to this practitioner where another practitioner performed the service.

Note that use of the Provider Balance Summary can dramatically reduce confusion around which payments can be attributed to which practitioner.  Refer to KB-Payments across multiple practitioners.asp for more detail.
