outstanding insurance vs aging

[hjoesaar]

Help me figure this out. My "Outstanding insurance" report (minus preauths) = $45K. My aging report with "any balance" says the estimated insurance = $30K. Why? Shouldn't they be the same?

Are you including all providers in both reports?

I think the difference is because the outstanding insurance report gives you the amount that was billed instead of the amount they really owe you. In most cases if you bill your regular fees to insurance, that amount will be higher than what they will pay you.
