At times you may need to see a list of all patients assigned to an insurance plan in Easy Dental. This information can be found by running the Insurance Carrier List. This list has different options to choose depending on whether you want to see a list of all subscribers (guarantors) or a list of all insured patients. You can also choose to include provider IDs associated with the plan.
To generate the Insurance Carrier List:
- From the Reports module, click Reference Reports > Insurance Carrier List.
- Enter a Report Date that you want to print on the report as needed. The default is the current date.
- In the Select Insurance Carrier group box, set the range of insurance carries to include on the list.
- In the Select List Types group box, select the list type you want to print:
- Standard List – generates a list of each insurance carrier based on the range of carriers you set.
- Include Subscribers – generates a list of each insurance carrier as well as a list of guarantors for each carrier.
- Include All Insured Patients – generates a list of each insurance carrier as well as a list of individual insured patients for each carrier.
- Include Provider IDs – generate the name, ID code, and ID number of each provider attached to the insurance carrier.
- Mailing Labels – generates mailing labels for the insurance carriers. If you select this option, use the corresponding Columns box to set the number of labels across a printed label sheet (1-3).
- Click OK to send the report to the Batch Processor.
Note: Do not select both the Standard List and Include Subscribers options, or Easy Dental will generate two lists: one showing carriers and one showing carriers with subscribers.
