Billing

How to add a service inside Billing

Sometimes, the doctor does this, but sometimes, you might be tasked to add services/items/packages.ย 

The purpose to the catalog is similar to the menu in a restaurant. The products and services are always there, with the price already saved.

It's really easy to add new services inside the Catalog.

  • If you want to change to adding items (products you dispense) or packages (combination of services and items with a special price) then just click the button to switch to Services/Items/Packages catalog.

How to add HMO to a service

If you do not see the HMO, please ask the doctor to tick the HMO checkbox in the clinic information.

  • Once ready, just go to Catalog, find a service you want to track for the HMO's you accept

  • Click the Edit button (image below)

  • Click Add HMO Rates and Claims

  • Enter the expected amount the HMO will pay in the Claimable Amount field and save

Co-pay = If the patient has HMO but still has to pay a certain amount
โ€‹Claimable Amount = The rate that the HMO will be paying for the service

  • The next time a bill is created for an HMO patient, just select the HMO, and select the service that shows under.

  • You will notice that the amount is 0 because there's no cash out from the patient

  • Just save the bill

  • You can settle the bill once the HMO has paid you

  • You can go to Reports and generate an HMO Claims report

How to bill patients (Full Process)

  1. Go to the Billing tab and click New Bill.

2. Select the patient you wish to bill.

3. Choose from the list of Services / Items / Packages on the left side panel. It will then appear on the Particulars.

4. Choosing between Save Bill, Save & Settle or Save & Send Pay Link.

Save Bill = You can create a bill in advance for a patient while waiting he is waiting for his turn or for the patient's consultation to end. This can also be used for check payments.

Save & Settle = We recommend clicking this option for cash payments.

Save & Send Pay Link = Click this button if the patient wishes to pay via debit/credit card, PayMaya or Gcash.

How to bill patients when doctor is the one that saves the bill

When the doctor is the one that "Saves the Bill" you just need to look in the history tab to see how much the fee will be. Collect payment and hit the "Settle" button.

How to know if the patient successfully paid the bill online?

SMD Bot will show you a notification for each successful payment. A successful payment also automatically changes the status of the bill from SETTLE to CLEAR.

You can also go to the Payouts tab to see all successful payments that are pending for payout and those that have been paid out already.
