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
- Insurance Billing Overview
- Client billing summary
- Viewing specific billing items
- Selecting appointments for billing documents
Self-Pay Billing Overview
Self-Pay clients don’t have an Insurance column in their Billing Overview. Their profiles show the Date, Details, Fee, Client 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.
For more information on unallocated payments, see: Navigating client payments.
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.
Note: You can also click on the dates to adjust the date range.
Below, you’ll find what populates on the client’s Billing Overview page for each item in the dropdown menu:
