About
Like most reports, the data produced in NextStep Billing Reports is driven by a selected date or date range. There are several date options to choose from when running reports in the Billing Engine. It's important to note what the different date options refer to so that you understand the data that is displayed:
- Event Date: Date of service
- Billing Date: Line Item creation date; for example, the date the Line Item was processed from a Service or the date that a payment was posted that created a Line Item.
- Invoice Date: Last date the print status was changed to "N" (last date Line Items were sent on a claim)
- Remit Date: Payment date from EOB or ERA file
- Posted Date: Date the transaction was posted
- Control Date: Last time a record was changed
Below, you will find a list of the most commonly used Billing Reports in NextStep Billing and their descriptions. All reports can be previewed, printed, or exported.
