Your practice's accounts receivable is shown subtotaled by insurance group, including a "Personal" group for outstanding personal charges. For each group, insaging lists the outstanding A/R that is "Current" or less than 30 days old, 30-59, 60-89, 90-119, and over 120 days old. The total outstanding balance and the percentage of your practice's total A/R are also listed. The report totals your A/R in each of the aging categories and also notes outstanding personal and Medicaid credits listed on the system.
 | All numbers are rounded to the nearest dollar amount. |

Comparing the "Percent of Total A/R" column with the percentage figures from the activity report will allow you to see when an insurance group's percentage of your total outstanding balance do not line up with its percentage of your office's workload. This can help identify "good" and "bad" payors. |
