Frequently Asked Questions
Can partial payments be accepted?
Yes. Partial payments are recorded against the invoice and the remaining balance continues to be tracked until fully settled.
How are taxes calculated on the invoice?
Taxes are determined by the tax rate schedule applicable to the patient location and treatment type, and are validated during invoice generation.
What happens if the patient disputes the invoice?
The billing specialist works with the sales representative to review the original quote, identify any discrepancies, and issue a corrected invoice or credit memo as needed.
