Some practices do not have the Client pay after each visit. In these cases, an invoice is created at the time of the appointment and items from subsequent appointments are added as the appointments are attended. An invoices can then be printed, emailed or posted as required, for example, monthly or at the completion of treatment.
If the invoice is left with a status of Draft, Bp Allied will display a prompt and ask about adding the new appointment to the open invoice.
