The Deposit Report shows all paid amounts received (deposited) and recorded according to the search parameters entered. Payments are separated by Patient vs. Insurance and are also broken down by payment type. Payments are itemized in columns by type (check, money order, cash, credit card, EFT, etc). This report is useful for reconciling the books to ensure all payments received are recorded and accounted for in Patient Accounts. It is ideal to use either the Payment Start/End dates or the Posted Start/End filters to get accurate results for payments.
