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

While viewing an appointment type, utilize the dropdown menu to specify whether patients should be charged copays or deposits during online booking, self-scheduling via the Patient Portal or upon check-in. When this setting is adjusted to either Self Scheduling or Check-In, patients will be charged their copay if they select an appointment with a copay.

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 

When patients with a Self-Pay case make a payment at Self-Scheduling or Check-In, selecting this option will automatically generate a patient fund for them.

Create Unposted Patient Payment 

When patients with a Self-Pay case make a payment at Self Scheduling or Check-In, choosing this option will generate and add an unposted patient payment to the unposted patient payment section.

Generate Administrative Encounter with Miscellaneous Charge and Payment Auto-Posted 

Upon selecting this option, you will be prompted to select a Miscellaneous Charge from the available dropdown menu. By doing so, an administrative encounter will be generated with the corresponding miscellaneous charge amount. This process occurs when patients with a Self Pay case submit payment at either 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.

When viewing a patient's appointment in Scheduling, payments made by patients who submitted their copay or deposit during Self Scheduling or Check-In will be displayed under the Payments tab. A note will be included indicating that the payment was made at the time of Self Scheduling or Check-In.

From now on, all patient payments, regardless of whether they were made through the scheduler, patient bill pay, or billing, will be listed in this section. When a payment is made through the scheduler, a receipt will be provided. However, payments made through patient bill pay or billing will not have an attached receipt
