Running the Confirmation List Report

The Confirmation List report lists the confirmation status of patient appointments for a specified date. This report includes the patient's appointment time, ID, name, chart number, phone numbers, e-mail address, age, appointment provider and hygienist IDs, account balance, and the appointment reason. It also displays the date the appointment was made, the fee, the patient's portion, the estimated insurance payment, and any medical alerts. You can run the report by date and time or by patient name.

The Dr ID from the appointment card is always displayed in the Dr/Hyg column in the first row of the appointment information.

The hygienist ID from the appointment card is displayed in the Dr/Hyg column in the second row of the appointment information.

Keep the following in mind:

Any non-zero hygienist ID is displayed, even if there are no H's in the template.
If the hygienist ID from the appointment card is zero and there are H's in the template, two asterisks are displayed instead of zero.
If the hygienist ID from the appointment card is zero and there are no H's in the template, nothing is displayed.
This scenario includes non-hygiene appointments as well as hygiene appointments where the office does not use templates.
