Print Collection Accounts
The normal mode for statement printing is to NOT print statements for accounts that have been designated as being sent to collections. If you recall, the Account Information Entry screen has a button entitled Sent To Collections. This button would be selected if you have turned over this account to a collection agency. Accounts that have been so designated should not usually have a statement printed. The collection agency is handling that. This filter can be overridden by clicking the Print Collection Accounts check box.

Set Minimum Due Now To Print
The normal mode for statement printing is to print statements for accounts that have a positive Due Now amount. This would include any positive Due Now amount, even if the amount is one cent. If you prefer to suppress statements where the Due Now amount falls below some minimum, click on the Set Minimum Due Now To Print check box. If you select this option, a text box will appear for entry of what the minimum amount will be. As an example, assume the amount of one dollar is entered into this text box. When statements are printed, an account with a Due Now amount of 97 cents will not print; however, an account with the Due Now amount of $ 1.03 will print.

Skip If Statement Sent Within...
Each account record a date is kept of the last time a statement was printed for that account. The program can bypass statement printing for accounts that have had statements printed within a certain period of days. To activate this filter, click on the Skip If Statement Sent Within check box. A text box will appear for you to enter the number of days. For example, if you enter 20 in this field, then accounts that have had statements printed within the last 20 days will be bypassed for statement printing for this current billing session.

Include Procedures How Far Back In Time
The billing statement prints the account ledger of the account. The account ledger contains the complete history of the account for as long as you have been using Diamond Dental Software. It is not usually necessary or desirable to include very old account activity on the billing statement. The Include Procedures How Far Back option box will limit older procedures from being included on the statement. There are five options. These are:

• Today only
• One month
• Two months
• Three months
• Manual setting

Activity that falls out of the allowable range will not appear on the billing statement but will be mathematically represented by the Balance Forward amount. The default is Three Months except if you are jumping directly from Posting using the Airplane button. The default setting in that case is Today Only. The assumption is you are printing a Walkout Statement for the patient that will detail the procedures that were performed that day.
