The Dentrix Ascend Ledger shows the history of patient services, service charges and descriptions, applied payments and adjustments, and remaining balances. It is the engine that drives your revenue cycle management (RCM) system. A successful RCM process is essential for your practice to maintain financial viability and continue to provide quality care for your patients.
