Epic Resolute Professional Billing (PB) Fundamentals Practice Exam

The primary purpose of the cash drawer in Epic is to reconcile the physical money collected with the posted amounts. This function is vital in ensuring that the actual cash received matches the transactions that have been recorded in the system. By performing this reconciliation, organizations can identify discrepancies, manage cash flow effectively, and ensure financial accuracy.

The cash drawer serves as a secure location for storing cash and checks, and its functionality extends to verifying that what is physically available aligns with what has been documented in the billing system. Regular reconciliation helps in maintaining financial integrity and supporting audits and financial reporting.

While tracking expenses, managing inventory, or generating sales reports may be important aspects of financial management, they do not capture the specific operational duty of the cash drawer itself. The cash drawer's role is specifically focused on the cash collected, making reconciliation its primary function.
