Financial Coordinator Report
The Financial Coordinator Report is a live accounts receivable worklist built directly from OrthoFi data.
It gives financial coordinators and practice managers a single, unified view of every patient with an
outstanding balance — showing who owes money, how past due they are, whether a payment profile is on file,
and much more — without having to pull multiple reports from OrthoFi manually.
The report spans all Orthodontic Partners practice locations and can be filtered down to a single
practice, location, coordinator, or any combination of criteria. Every row links directly back to the
patient's OrthoFi portal and ledger for immediate action.
Key principle: This report mirrors the logic in the
accountsReceivableAging
SQL view. If a number looks different from an OrthoFi report, the most common reasons are a difference
in as-of date, or that OrthoFi's "Patient Receivables" report excludes insurance-responsible accounts
that this report includes. See the
Data Sources
section for details.
Data Sources
Five OrthoFi API endpoints are fetched in parallel and joined at the contract level to build each row.
- Patient AR AR
- The primary source. Returns one row per contract with outstanding balance, all aging buckets,
insurance claim details, patient responsibility, and fee/interest fields. Every row in the worklist
starts here — only accounts with a non-zero balance are shown.
- Contracts CONTRACTS
- Provides the financial terms of the payment plan: treatment cost, estimated insurance, patient
responsibility, selected down payment, payment term length (months), and contract status.
Both the original contract and any current (renegotiated) contract are fetched; the report
shows the current plan where available.
- Payment Profiles PROFILES
- Identifies whether an active autopay method (credit card, bank account, etc.) is on file for
each contract. Accounts missing an active profile are flagged as No Payment Profile.
- Collection Details COLLECTIONS
- A transaction-level history of every payment received, covering the last 3 years. Used to
calculate total patient paid, total insurance paid, down payment collected, last successful
payment date, and payment method. Payments older than 3 years show Prior to [year]
in the Last Payment column.
- Treatments TREATMENTS
- Provides the assigned treatment coordinator name and whether the appliance date has been
verified in OrthoFi.
Insurance vs. Patient Responsible Party: An account is classified as
Patient if there is no insurance involvement, Insurance if
insurance is the sole responsible party, or Patient w/ Insurance if both
a patient responsibility and insurance involvement exist. OrthoFi's own "Patient Receivables"
report only covers patient-responsible accounts — comparing totals against it should exclude
Insurance-only accounts from this report for an apples-to-apples match.
Data Refresh & Caching
Data is fetched from OrthoFi once per day at 7:00 AM ET and cached on the server.
Every user who opens the report gets the cached data instantly — there is no wait for API calls on
page load. The As of: date in the top-right corner shows when the data was last
fetched.
- ↻ Refresh button
- Forces an immediate re-fetch from OrthoFi. This takes 15–30 seconds and updates the cache
for all users. Use it when you need data more current than the 7 AM snapshot.
- Monthly auto-archive
- When the 7 AM refresh runs and the cached data is from a prior month, the previous month's
data is automatically archived before being overwritten. Up to 3 months of archives are kept
for trend comparison.
Account Summary — KPI Cards
The six KPI cards at the top of the report summarize the accounts currently visible after
all filters are applied. They update live as you filter.
- Accounts
- Total number of contracts with a non-zero outstanding balance. Credit balances (negative
balances) are included in this count.
- Total Outstanding
- Sum of all positive outstanding balances across the filtered accounts. Credit balances
are excluded from this total.
- Total Past Due
- Sum of all amounts in aging buckets 10-day through 365+. Does not include the current
(not-yet-due) portion of a balance.
- No Payment Profile
- Accounts with an outstanding balance but no active autopay method on file. These patients
cannot be automatically charged and require outreach to add a payment method.
- Incomplete Down Pmt
- Accounts where the amount collected toward the down payment is less than the required
down payment specified in the contract.
- Credit Balances
- Accounts with a negative outstanding balance, meaning the practice owes the patient a
refund or the credit should be transferred to another contract.
Filter by Issue — Action Chips
The colored chips below the KPIs are quick filters that each target a specific collection issue.
Click one to filter the table to those accounts. Click multiple chips to apply AND logic
— for example, clicking both Past Due and
No Payment Profile shows only accounts that are both past due
and missing a payment profile.
Chip counts update dynamically to reflect the current filter state — so if you have Past Due
active, the No Payment Profile chip will show how many of those past-due accounts also lack a
payment profile.
- Past Due
- Any account with an amount in one or more aging buckets. These are the highest-priority
accounts for outreach.
- No Payment Profile
- No active autopay method on file. Without a profile, payments cannot be auto-collected
and the patient must be contacted to add a card or bank account.
- Incomplete Down Pmt
- The down payment collected so far is less than what was agreed to in the contract. May
indicate the patient made a partial down payment at sign-up or that a payment was reversed.
- Credit Balance
- Negative outstanding balance. Common causes: overpayment, insurance paid after patient
paid in full, or a refund-pending situation.
- Unverified Appliance
- The appliance date has not been verified in OrthoFi. Important for tracking treatment
start accuracy and insurance billing timing.
- Terms Changed
- The current payment term length differs from the original contract. A shortened plan may
mean higher monthly payments; a lengthened plan may reflect a hardship accommodation.
- Insurance
- Accounts classified as Insurance or Patient w/ Insurance — i.e., any account with
insurance involvement. Useful for the insurance coordinator to focus their queue.
Filters & Search
All filters in the top bar work together — each one further narrows the results shown in the table and reflected in the KPI cards.
- Search
- Free-text search across patient name, location name, treatment coordinator name, and
contract ID. Partial matches work — type "smith" to find all patients with Smith in
their name.
- All Locations
- A grouped dropdown showing practice keys (e.g. DBY, SNR) as section headers with
individual locations nested underneath. Check a practice header to select all its
locations at once, or check individual locations for a more targeted view.
- All Parties
- Filter by responsible party type: Patient, Insurance, or Patient w/ Insurance. Useful
for splitting the workload between the patient-facing coordinator and the insurance
coordinator.
- All Aging
- Filter to accounts past due by a minimum number of days. "Any Past Due" shows all
accounts with any past due amount; "90+ Days" shows only accounts with balances in
the 90-day bucket or older.
- All Coordinators
- Filter by the treatment coordinator assigned to each patient's treatment record in
OrthoFi.
- Contract Signed (date range)
- Filter to contracts signed within a specific date range. Useful for reviewing a
particular signing cohort — for example, all patients who signed in the last 90 days
to check whether new accounts have completed their down payment.
- Clear button
- Resets all filters, chips, and search back to the full unfiltered view.
Account Worklist Table
Each row represents one contract with an outstanding balance. Click any patient name to open
the full detail modal. Column headers with ⇅ are sortable — click once to sort ascending,
again to sort descending.
- Patient
- Patient name, OrthoFi patient ID, and assigned treatment coordinator. The ▶ icon opens
the patient's OrthoFi portal; the $ icon opens the patient ledger. Both open in a new tab.
- Location
- Practice key (e.g. DBY) and full location name, right-aligned. Sortable.
- Party
- Responsible party type: Patient, Insurance, or
Patient w/ Insurance.
- Outstanding
- Current outstanding balance. Negative values (credit balances) appear in blue.
Below the balance, a progress bar shows how much has been collected relative to the
total patient responsibility.
- Past Due
- Total amount in any aging bucket. Blank if the account is current.
- Aging
- The deepest (oldest) aging bucket that has a positive balance. Green = current,
amber = 10–30 days, red = 60 days or older.
- Down Pmt / Collected
- Amount collected toward the down payment vs. the required down payment. A progress
bar shows completion — green when met, amber when partially paid, red when significantly
short.
- Pmt Profile
- Whether an active autopay method is on file. Green = Has Profile, Red = No Profile.
- Last Payment
- Date of the most recent successful payment within the 3-year collection window.
Prior to [year] indicates a payment exists but predates the window.
- Terms
- Original payment term in months. An amber badge appears if the current plan differs
from the original — e.g. "24mo → 18mo".
- Appliance
- Date the appliance was verified in OrthoFi, or "Unverified" if not yet confirmed.
Patient Detail Modal
Click any patient name in the table to open a full detail view. The modal is organized into
sections for quick scanning.
- Balances
- Outstanding balance, past due total, credit balance, and current standing status.
- Contract & Payment Terms
- Contract signed date, whether it was signed from home, original vs. current term length,
any term change, and the date the payment plan was last updated.
- Down Payment
- Required amount, collected amount, and completion status.
- Ledger Summary
- Treatment financials from the contract: total treatment, treatment cost, discounts and
courtesies, estimated insurance, patient responsibility, and contract status.
- Collections
- All-time collected amount (from AR), outstanding balance, % of responsibility collected
(with progress bar), patient vs. insurance split, insurance write-offs, and any late fees,
NSF fees, or interest assessed and paid. A "By Type" breakdown shows payment categories
(Down Payment, Monthly Payment, etc.).
- Payments
- Last successful payment date, payment method, payment type, profile status, and the
payment method currently on file.
- Treatment & Appliance
- Treatment coordinator, responsible party, and appliance verification date.
- Insurance
- Shown only for Insurance and Patient w/ Insurance accounts. Carrier, claim ID, submission
status, verification date, and total insurance collected.
- Links
- Direct links to the OrthoFi portal and patient ledger.
Monthly Summary
The Monthly Summary page (green button in the header) compares past-due AR
month over month. Up to three months of history are kept.
At the top, a month-pair selector lets you choose which two months to compare
(e.g. Feb → Mar). The page then shows:
- Summary KPIs
- Past due, total outstanding, and past-due account count for both months, with
change arrows. Also shows a count of resolved and new past-due accounts at a glance.
- Bucket Comparison
- Side-by-side aging bucket totals for both months with a change column. Highlights
whether the practice's past-due problem is improving, stable, or spreading into
deeper buckets.
- Resolved
- Accounts that were past due last month and have cleared (past due now $0). These
represent successful collections. Grouped by practice.
- New Past Due
- Accounts that were current last month but have slipped into past due this month.
Early identification of new collection risks.
- Worsened
- Accounts that were already past due and have increased further. These are the
highest-priority accounts for immediate outreach.
- Improved
- Accounts that are still past due but have decreased since last month — partial
payments received. Confirms collection efforts are working.
How archiving works:
Within a month, each time you click Archive Current Month it overwrites
that month's snapshot with today's live data. This means you can check in any day during
the month and see how it is tracking against the prior month — the comparison updates
as payments come in and new accounts go past due.
At the end of the month, an automatic 10 PM refresh runs on the last day to capture a
clean month-end snapshot. Once the month rolls over, the auto-archive locks that snapshot
in place and it cannot be overwritten. Up to three months of history are kept.
How to Use It: Financial Coordinator
The report is designed to replace the manual process of pulling multiple OrthoFi reports
and cross-referencing them. Here is a suggested daily and weekly workflow.
Daily: Past-Due Sweep
- Open the report. Check the "As of:" date — if it shows yesterday, hit ↻ Refresh to get today's data.
- Click the Past Due chip to isolate past-due accounts.
- Sort by Aging (oldest first) to work deepest past-due accounts first.
- For each account, click the patient name to open the detail modal. Review the last payment
date, payment method, and whether a profile is on file.
- Click Open Portal ▶ or Open Ledger $ to go directly to
OrthoFi and take action: call the patient, process a payment, or update the profile.
Weekly: No Payment Profile Review
- Click the No Payment Profile chip.
- For any account also past due, add the Past Due chip
to see the combined list (AND logic).
- For each account, open the portal and request the patient add a payment method.
A profile on file enables auto-collection and reduces future delinquency.
Weekly: Down Payment Follow-up
- Click the Incomplete Down Pmt chip.
- Filter to recently signed contracts using the Contract Signed date range
(e.g. last 30–60 days) to focus on new accounts where down payment collection is most urgent.
- Review the Down Pmt column — the progress bar shows how close each account is to meeting
the requirement. Prioritize the shortest bars.
- Contact patients to collect the remaining balance or, if applicable, confirm whether a
payment arrangement was documented in OrthoFi.
Ongoing: Insurance Queue
- Use the All Parties filter to select Insurance or
Patient w/ Insurance.
- Click the Insurance chip to combine with other
issue flags as needed.
- Open each patient's detail modal to review submission status, verification date,
carrier, and the insurance-collected vs. patient-collected split.
- Click Open Portal to follow up on outstanding claims or verify coverage in OrthoFi.
Ongoing: Credit Balance Resolution
- Click the Credit Balance chip.
- Review each account's detail modal. Credit balances may be due to overpayment,
insurance payment after a patient already paid in full, or a reversed charge.
- Determine whether to issue a refund, transfer the credit to another open contract
for the same patient, or hold pending final insurance adjudication.
How to Use It: Practice Manager
Practice managers can use this report for location-level AR oversight, coordinator
accountability, and month-over-month trend monitoring.
Location-Level AR Review
- Use the All Locations slicer to select your practice. All KPIs and
chips will reflect only your location's accounts.
- Review the Account Summary KPIs. Key benchmarks to watch: Total Past Due relative to
Total Outstanding (past-due ratio), and No Payment Profile count.
- Click the Past Due chip and sort by Aging to see the
distribution of delinquency at your location.
Treatment Coordinator Performance
- Use the All Coordinators filter to select a specific treatment coordinator.
- Review the patient panel for that coordinator — past due accounts, profiles missing,
and down payment completions give a snapshot of their portfolio health.
- Rotate through coordinators to compare their AR metrics side by side.
Month-Over-Month Trend
- Click Monthly Summary in the header.
- Select your practice in the location filter before navigating — or filter within the
Monthly Summary page after it loads.
- Review the Resolved, New, Worsened, and Improved sections. A healthy practice sees
Resolved > New, and Worsened shrinking each month.
- Use the bucket comparison table to detect if past-due balances are aging deeper over
time — a sign that collection outreach needs to be more proactive.
New Contract Cohort Review
- Use the Contract Signed date filter to isolate patients who signed
in the last 60–90 days.
- Click Incomplete Down Pmt to see how many new
accounts haven't completed their down payment.
- Click No Payment Profile to see how many new
patients still need to add a payment method.
- These are the easiest collections to capture — new patients are most responsive to
outreach early in treatment.
Tips & Best Practices
Start with the deepest aging
Sort the Aging column descending so 365+ day accounts appear first.
These are the hardest to collect and the most urgent to address before they become write-offs.
Use AND chip logic
Combining Past Due + No Payment Profile is one of the most powerful
filters — it shows patients who owe money and have no automated way to be charged.
This is your highest-leverage outreach list.
Check "Prior to [year]" dates
A last payment of "Prior to 2023" means the patient hasn't paid
in over 3 years. These accounts warrant a closer review of the contract status and whether
further collection action is warranted.
Reconcile with OrthoFi reports
Always compare at the same as-of date. OrthoFi's Patient
Receivables report excludes insurance accounts — filter this report to "Patient" only
for an apples-to-apples comparison.
Use the ledger link for disputes
When a patient disputes their balance, click the $ ledger link
in the patient modal for a full transaction history directly in OrthoFi.
Monthly summary at month-end
Review the Monthly Summary page in the first week of each month
to understand what changed. Share the Resolved list with your team as a win, and address
the Worsened list in your next collections meeting.
Credit balances are time-sensitive
Unresolved credit balances can become a compliance issue.
Aim to clear them within 30–60 days by issuing refunds or transferring to open contracts.
Unverified appliances affect billing
Insurance billing for orthodontic treatment often depends on
an accurate banding/appliance date. Use the Unverified Appliance chip to find accounts
that may have a billing gap.
