Accounting basic questions

[Guest guest]

Some embarassing questions regarding basic accounting. I have been

open almost two months now and haven't really set up my accounting. I

am starting to recieve checks and eob's and not quite sure what to do

with it all. I visited with my accountant and he recommended using

Quickbooks for the overall tax stuff. If Amazig charts billing

provides the detailed reports that they propose, I am assuming I won't

need to do a lot of that tracking, but here are my basic questions:

1. What does " posting an EOB " mean? Do I have to pay for PM software

to track each and every bill/ EOB/ Denial....etc?

2. Anyone using Quickbooks: Can I batch my remittances and copays as

large deposits, or do I need to track each EOB. Do I need to track

each patient as a " customer " ? What is the easiest way to do this???

- Please help....
