TCS Unapplied Advanced Utility

 

TCS Unapplied Advanced Utility

TCS Unapplied Advanced Utility is a Windows application that automatically applies encounter or account unapplied transactions to outstanding patient balances in NextGen Practice Management.

This utility creates un-posted batches in NextGen Practice Management which is a reversible process by deleting the batch. Once a batch is posted within NextGen Practice Management the transactions are irreversible therefore the batches should be reviewed before posting.

To purchase the Unapplied Advanced Utility please submit a NextGen Healthcare Success Community request and we will provide a quote.

A trial version exists of the application, please submit ticket for further information. The trial version should not be run against a production database.
