Using the client Billing Overview page

Using the client Billing Overview page

We've created an appointment-focused billing system with a clean and organized client billing page to take away some of the guesswork that can come with client billing. We wanted to make it easy for you to see the status of each appointment and identify what needs your attention at a glance. 

You can learn about the following updates in this guide:


Self-Pay Billing Overview

Self-Pay clients don’t have an Insurance column in their Billing Overview. Their profiles show the DateDetailsFeeClient Owes, and Write-Off for each appointment.

Insurance Billing Overview

Insurance clients require more information to be recorded with their bookkeeping. If a client's billing type is set to Insurance, their Billing Overview includes an additional column for the client's Insurance balance.

Client billing summary

The Client billing summary provides a complete overview of a client's billing history. This includes their current balance, unallocated payments, and any unpaid or uninvoiced amounts.

Viewing specific billing items

On a client’s Billing Overview page, you have the ability to filter the items that you’re seeing by using the dropdown menu.
