Which statements pull HB and PB self-pay balances?

• A. Enterprise Statements
• B. System Batch
• C. Statement
• D. Grouper

Answer: (A)

The key idea is consolidating patient responsibility across different billing streams. HB (Hospital Billing) and PB (Professional Billing) self-pay balances represent amounts the patient owes for hospital services and professional services, respectively. To present a single, clear bill to patients, you need a mechanism that pulls both HB and PB self-pay balances into one statement.

Enterprise Statements are designed to pull and combine self-pay balances from both HB and PB, producing unified statements for the patient. This ensures all owed amounts appear together, improving clarity and collections.

System Batch is a general batch process core to many tasks, but it isn’t the specific tool that pulls HB and PB self-pay balances into a consolidated statement. A standalone Statement is an output type, not the mechanism to aggregate across HB and PB. A Grouper handles categorization or grouping of data, not the act of retrieving and merging balances for statements.
