Patient Accounts

Patient accounts are detailed records that track all financial transactions between a patient and a healthcare provider. They include charges for services rendered, payments made by the patient or insurance, and any adjustments or discounts. Managing these accounts ensures that the healthcare facility accurately records what is owed and received, helping patients understand their bills and facilitating timely payments. Essentially, a patient account functions as a financial history of a patient’s healthcare, providing clarity and organization for both the patient and the provider.
