Here are some directives on running Invoice Reports within OSCAR to manage your OHIP billings.
To access this report module you will need to navigate to Administration > Billing > Invoice Reports:
Here you can run it by provider, or ALL Providers if managing multiple physicians. The top date range boxes are to enter in the Service Dates to be loaded in the report.
Along the bottom are the different invoice statuses available within OSCAR. This permits you to be able to run a report for the different stages of the billing cycle, and lets you easily view unpaid invoices.
To review Settled/Paid invoices in a time period, the status Settled/Paid would need to be marked off, and along the top you may remove the checkmarks from Bill Patient and IFH to ensure that the private revenue is not included in the report:
A generated Invoice Report can be exported to a spreadsheet once generated:
To review invoices that have been included in a claim file, but not yet marked as Settled/Paid, then the Submitted OHIP option would need to be selected:
This will list all invoices that have not been marked as Settled/Paid. This could be for a number of reasons:
- has an error, such as EH2 that still needs to be corrected
- has received an explanatory error, such as M1 and would need to be manually updated to Settled, unless completing a RAI with the MOH
- newly created and waiting for next RA for processing
Here is a link regarding Submitted OHIP status in Invoice Reports: Submitted OHIP Invoice Reports
It is good practice to review invoices in the Submitted OHIP status to ensure that nothing goes stale dated.
Other ways of using the Invoice Reports, would be to run a Rejected Invoice Report. This allows you to be able to complete OHIP error corrections from the Invoice Reports. Here is a link to a video using the Rejected Report: Rejected Invoice Reports
The Invoice Reports can be used to complete filters by Dx code, or by service code, as well as used to load specific patients as well:
Invoice Reports can be run at anytime to help manage your billings.
