Change the default for balance forward date on statements

If we could have the ability to set the default to 60 days or whatever,  instead of 30 days back.  Sometimes by the time insurance pays, and we need to send a statement for the balance, the history isn't listed because it's been more than 30 days.

    Thank you for the recommendation, we are always looking for ways to improve the product. we will consider this for a potential future release.

    The current default is 30 days, however you can manually change it to 60 days each time a statement is ran if needed.

    Agreed. I would like to be able to make this change as well when I am printing/submitting individual statements from a patient ledger, as we rarely bulk/batch print in our office. Currently I have to print the statement with "balance forward" then make a secondary print of the family ledger to show transactions.

    Yes! Patients are always calling asking what "balance forward" means. This can be easily fixed and will save us a lot of phone calls and admin time!!
