Users can now customize appointment types to collect patient copays / deposits during self-scheduling or appointment check-in, streamlining financial management.

When viewing an appointment type, select from the dropdown if you want to charge patient copays / deposits during self-scheduling through the Patient Portal or at patient check-in. When this setting is toggled to either Self Scheduling or Check-In, patients will be charged their copay if they choose a case with a copay for the appointment. 

Choose from the Self-Pay Cases dropdown menu how you would like to collect deposits for patients with Self-Pay cases.

You have three options to select from:

Auto-Post to Patient Funds 
Choosing this option will automatically create a patient fund when patients with a Self-Pay case submit payment at Self Scheduling or Check-In.
Create Unposted Patient Payment 
By selecting this option, an unposted patient payment will be created and added to the unposted patient payment section when patients with a Self Pay case submit payment at Self Scheduling or Check-In. 
Generate Administrative Encounter with Miscellaneous Charge and Payment Auto-Posted 
When you choose this option, you’ll be prompted to select a Miscellaneous Charge from the dropdown menu. This action will generate an administrative encounter with the corresponding miscellaneous charge amount when patients with a Self Pay case submit payment at Self Scheduling or Check-In. 

If you have chosen Auto-Post to Patient Funds or Create Unposted Patient Payment, enter the Deposit Amount patients should be charged for Self-Pay Cases

Click Save.

Payments for patients who have submitted their copay / deposit at the time of Self Scheduling or Check-In will be listed under the Payments tabs in Scheduling when viewing a patient's appointment with a note listing that the payment was submitted at the time of Self Scheduling or Check-In.

All patient payments, including those made in the scheduler, patient bill pay, and billing, will now be listed here. Payments made in the scheduler will display a receipt, while payments made in patient bill pay or billing will not have a receipt attached.
