Information includes details of the appointment billed for, payment date, payer (or insurance company), item/service description, client name, clinician name, locations of service, referring provider, payment due date, payment type, the amount owed, amount due, amount paid and contact rate.

The information is exported as a CSV file (or comma-separated values file), which allows data to be saved in a table-structured format. CSV files can be used with any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, Open Office Calc, or Google Spreadsheets. Many accounting programs accept data imports in CSV file format.
