Financial Reports

Helix provides these reports on the Financial Reports tab.

The available financial reports are described in the following table.

Day Sheet Daily Figures Monitor the total number of patients per practitioner who have arrived in the patient queue on a nominated date. The report includes the total number of patients who did not wait, as well as the arrival time and consultation time of the first and last patient of the day.
Visits Report Identifies the daily visit details for all services performed within the selected date range.

Practices can use this report to compare the status of an invoice against the patient queue, identify the outstanding billing and predict future capacity.

The summary page displays the sum of all visits for each practitioner working in the centre, for the chosen report parameters, grouped by visit type. Use the summary to help calculate the practice's payroll tax requirements. For example, claiming a Payroll Tax exemption based on Medicare Bulk bill rates. For more information about payroll tax requirements, see Revenue NSW website.

The total amount and transactions shown in the report do not reflect changes related to refunds or Did not wait. Use the Transactions report for precise financial information.

Do not use the daily Visits Report to determine your doctors' pay. For full financial clarity, use the Transactions and Transactions Payment reports.

Unallocated Credit Provides an overview of unallocated credit or funds available to each account holder. Unallocated credit refers to funds that have not been assigned to specific transactions or invoices within the system.

By having both the date of credit and the date of receipt included in the report, you can differentiate between these two aspects and gain a clearer understanding of the timeline associated with unallocated credit entries. This information enables you to track the progression of credit adjustments and receipts, ensuring transparency and accuracy in financial records.

The date of receipt refers to the date when the receipt itself was generated or created in the system. This date indicates the moment when the financial transaction (resulting in the unallocated credit) was processed or recorded. It might not necessarily align with the date of credit if there were delays or timing differences between the adjustment in the invoice and the creation of the receipt.
