In hospital billing, the stage where the balance has been communicated and a statement has been sent reflects an amount that is still due and not yet paid. That state is described as outstanding. Sending a statement is a step to request payment, but until payment arrives or an acceptable resolution is reached, the balance remains unpaid. So this label specifically captures the ongoing, due status of the account.

Choosing other terms wouldn’t fit as well because created or open are earlier stages indicating initial data entry or active work in progress, and billed means an invoice has been generated—before you’ve ensured whether it’s been paid or not. Here, the key idea is that the balance exists, has been communicated, a statement has been issued, and payment is still pending, which is the essence of outstanding.
