Issues Resolved:

Release 11.12.0

Authorization Units decreasing accurately  in Group Notes Previously, when authorization units were added to the corresponding billing field in a Group Note, and if the Group Note was exited and reentered; the units would not count down in the Authorization Tracker widget. 
This issue has been resolved.
Line Item AR by Date Type calculates properly

Main Menu > Practice Management > Billing Reports > Line Item AR by Date Type

The adjusted, payment, and balance columns have been updated to accurately reflect the amounts shown in billing. Previously those columns had formulas that were dependent on the end date set on the dashboard, which led to discrepancies in values between the report and billing. That has been fixed.

Modifiers displaying correctly with Line Items in report

Main Menu > Practice Management > Billing Reports > Billing Line Items

Previously, not all modifiers connected to a Line Item in Billing were shown in the modifier columns in the clinical Billing Line Item report. This issue has been resolved. Connected modifiers should now populate in the clinical report.
