Reviewing billing activity and transaction history

The Billing hub, which you can access from the left navigation menu, provides a centralized view of billing activity across your practice.

There are 3 tabs you can use to review and export this information. 

Note: The Billing hub shows billing activity across your practice, while a client's Billing tab shows billing information for that individual client. To access a client's Billing tab, navigate to their profile and select the Billing tab.


Billing activity

The Activity section at the bottom of the Billing hub’s Dashboard shows recent billing activity, including creating and deleting documents, payments, and refunds.

Billing documents

You can export a report of all billing documents, including invoices, superbills, and statements from Analytics > Reports > Billing documents.

This report details the:

  • Client’s name
  • Type of billing document
  • Client's default delivery method, based on their Email Billing Notifications setting
  • Status of the billing document
  • Date the document was created

A billing document can have one of the following statuses:

Status Description
Sent The document has been shared with the client via email or the Client Portal. This status also appears if you use the Export PDF option.
Not sent

The document hasn’t been shared with the client via email or the Client Portal. This typically appears for invoices created for clients with a manual delivery method.

Pending

The document has been created but hasn’t been exported or sent. This may appear for invoices created for clients with automated delivery methods.

Exported

The document has been created but hasn’t been sent to the client. This usually appears for superbills and statements.

You can use the filters at the top of the Billing documents tab to narrow the list by client name, date range, or billing document type using the View all dropdown.
