Bills Held

Bills held are those PRIVATE bills which are

• not yet printed
• not paid
• not cancelled
• not written off

For instance a person having a ? BCC excised on their face might be billed as a #31265 but this bill cannot be released to the patient until the histopathology report confirms the diagnosis. This bill might remain in the system for several days and could be forgotten!

Searching "held bills" provides a way of going back though the system and finding these kinds of bills.

To view the bills held report please select reports from the main menu and then select bills held.

The bills held form will be displayed to you.

If you are an administrator of the system, you will be able to view the bills held report for all doctors or whichever doctor you select from the drop down.

System permissions set by the Administrator determines to what extent you can view these reports. 

You have two options to view the bills held report. You can either set the date range for the report or you can view the report by the last 'x' number of days. If you do not set any dates in the date range, by default, the current date is chosen.

Click on the show button to display the report. A new form will be displayed with the records searched.

This report will not display the bill item numbers, but the item numbers can be seen in the original bill which comes into view when you double click on any record in the grid. 

The  '+' and '-' signs on the top right hand corner of the form are not used in the bills held report. You can sort the records by clicking on any column header. You can also remove columns which you do not want to print.  

To remove a column right click on the column header and select hide column. The column will be removed and will not be printed. Once removed the column cannot be brought back from this screen. You will have to go back to the bills held screen and re-generate the report if you wish to view the column.
