Creating Balances Forward Batches

Balances Forward brings outstanding A/R balances into PointClickCare from your legacy system. Bringing outstanding A/R balances into PointClickCare eliminates the need to run parallel systems for cash posting and month end close. You can generate claims, post cash and follow up on outstanding A/R in a single location. PointClickCare generates the go live month's revenue for you so your aging report excludes prebill charges.

You can Import Balances Forward into PointClickCare using a specified template or hand key batches. If hand keying, there are 3 options for organizing your batches.

  • By resident

  • By payer

  • By date of service

Note

An adjustment code per payer is needed to enter Balances Forward. The Default Account field must be set to an A/R Account type. These are setup in Charge/Adjustment codes.

An A/R aging report is needed from your legacy system to assist with bringing balances into PointClickCare.

If you decide not to bring Balances Forward into PointClickCare, you need a miscellaneous G/L Account number to post cash receipts to.
