Statements

Statements should be generated at least once a month for your practice.  Statements can be sent via paper or email (Providing the Account is set to email statements). You can also give patients “walk-out” statements.  Some offices do not send statements out due to the cost, however you can set statements to print with a minimum balance or even charge a statement fee to recover that cost.
