a. Patient's Daily Hospital Record. After the reconciliation in paragraph 4-5, the
MSA ledger clerk reviews the entire AAD Report. From the transactions on the AAD

is at this time that the ledger clerk would insure they had received a ledger card on patients
whose status had changed from nonpay to pay patient. From the list below, the clerk posts
the appropriate control code in the box showing the day of the month and the month if it has
not been previously recorded.
