What Are Patient Dunning Messages?

Reports > Patient > Statement

Patient dunning messages are used to remind patients with a non-payment plan to pay their dues; especially when bills are overdue. This allows users to enable a master checkbox and select all five aging thresholds with a single click, thus saving time and effort.

Search a ‘Patient’ and enable the ‘Print Dunning Messages – Non Payment Plan’ checkbox.
