Print Current Bill
This action only prints the current bill.
Prerequisites
- A non-electronic payer must be added to the bill before printing
- The bill must use one of the following form types depending on the payer:
- Invoice
- HCFA 1500
- State-specific Medicaid forms
- And more
Printing Process
- To print the current bill, click the Print button, then select 'Print Current Bill'
- The Print Current Bill? prompt will then display. It will prompt the user if they'd like to Print the current bill.
- Note: Selecting 'Print With Form Image' will download a bill with the image of the form in the background. This option can be selected when pre-printed forms are not available, but is not cost-effective for printer ink long-term.
- YES: downloads the bill locally.
- NO: closes window.

- After selecting YES in the Print Current Bill? prompt, users can then select whether they would like to post transactions. Always post transactions if you'd like to update the bill to a Printed status.
When printing the current bill, sometimes the user will be notified that the bill requires supporting documentation. This means the bill likely requires other documents printed alongside it.
Important Notes
- Always review printed forms before sending them. This practice helps identify potential issues with:
- Paper loading
- Printer ink levels
- Data alignment
- Content clarity
- Unclear or incorrectly formatted bills can result in:
- Payer rejections
- Patient confusion
- Payment delays
- If the content appears misaligned on the printed form, contact AIM Support for assistance with form alignment adjustment.
Printing patient bills can:
- download the actual bill locally (default functionality as described above)
- automatically upload to eServices for e-mail/text options for the patient
