...Use the OHIP Bill Inquiry Report
The OHIP Transaction Report is used to report on OHIP Billing Lines by Billed and Service Dates.
To access the OHIP Bill Inquiry Report, click on
the Report Button
on the toolbar and select OHIP. A submenu will appear and OHIP Bill
Inquiry will be amongst your options. Select OHIP Bill Inquiry.
The OHIP Bill Inquiry report enables you to pull a detailed line based report using the criteria specified in the OHIP Bill Inquiry report dialog box as shown below:
Options
Billing Provider
Selecting a Billing Provider limits the report to including billings only for the billing provider specified in this field. All other billing providers will be excluded. Leave blank to include all billing providers on the system.
Referring Provider
Selecting a Referring Provider limits the report to including billings only for the referring provider specified in this field. All other Referring providers will be excluded. Leave blank to include all Referring providers on the system.
Department
Selecting a Department limits the report to including billings only for the department specified in this field. All other departments will be excluded. Leave blank to include all departments on the system.
Line Status
The Line Status indicates the billing line's current accounting and submission status with the Ministry of Health. You can specify one or more Line Statuses to filter the report by. Leave blank to report on all line statuses.
Include OHIP Error '35'
OHIP error 35's is an error that indicates that the bill has already been submitted by you and paid on a previous submission and reconciliation. Error 35's are automatically excluded from reports as they tend to repeat lines unnecessarily, and have no significant impact on the accounting status of your billings. Most people prefer to exclude 35's on their reports. Clicking this field with a checkmark will force the report to include lines with an error 35.
Program Types
The Program Types selector indicates which OHIP payment programs you wish to report on. By default, all payment programs are reported on; however, you can filter by HCP, RMB (out of province billing) or WCB (WSIB).
Ranges
All
By clicking on the All checkbox, your report will include the entire range of bills in your system.
Start Date Type/End Date Type
The Start Date Type/End Date Types allow you to choose which dates you want to report by. You can use the Billing Date or the Service date to report by. Do not confuse these two date types. The Billing Date is the date you physically typed the bill into the computer. The Service Date is the date the doctor delivered the service on according to the Date of Service field.
Start Date/End Date
The Start Date/End Date are calendar fields that allow you to select the actual dates for the Start Date Type/End Date Type selection you've made. By default both dates are today's date.
Starting From Bill Number
You may wish to report by Bill number range instead of date range. If you type numbers into the 'Start From Bill #' and 'To' fields, the filters entered for dates will be ignored and the bill number range specified will be used instead.
Sort By
The report can be sorted alphanumerically by the following fields; Bill Number, Bill Date, Service Date, Patient Name, Patient Chart Number, Alternate Patient, Alternate Bill Number.
Output Option Buttons
Print - Print Directly to a printer of your choice. The print destination dialog box will appear which allows you to control the output printer destination, number of copies, collation, etc.
Preview - Shows the report in the Print Preview window. You can then click on the print button on the preview window toolbar to send the report to the default printer on your computer.
Cancel - Abort report.
Example of Use: Printing the Day's OHIP Bills (sometimes called a Daysheet)

The OHIP Bill Inquiry report defaults are set to print today's daysheet report without any criteria changes. Simply pull up the OHIP Bill Inquiry report dialog as described at the beginning of this HOWTO, and press the print or preview button, and the report will appear as shown below:
