Patient Accounts Overview: Invoices and Payments in Nookal
1. At the top of the page, you will find the Patient’s name.
2. The four boxes below provide a quick glance at the overall Patient Accounts:
- Invoiced: the total amount invoiced
- Paid: the total amount paid in the Patient's account including invoice payments (from the Patient and Third Party. This includes Account Credit if applicable.)
- Credit: Amount overpaid on an invoice or amount added in Account Credit that hasn’t been used to date. If there is a credit, it will be shown in green. To know more about adding account credit see Adding an Account Credit.
- Balance: Outstanding amount to be paid in the invoice(s) without taking into account Account Credit. If there is an outstanding balance, it will be shown in red
3. The Invoices tab shows in parentheses how many total Invoices (including account credit) have been created in the account and all the relevant information in columns:
- Date: Date of the Invoice, either the date the invoice was generated or the date that was put in. See Editing an Existing Invoice for assistance with changing the Date of an Invoice.
- Invoice: Invoice Number or Credit Number.
- Location: Location where the Invoice was created, either the location of the appointment or the active location in the Calendar when creating an Ad-hoc Invoice. The location cannot be changed once the invoice is generated.
- Case: Case linked to the invoice. See Editing an Existing Invoice for assistance with changing the Case on an Invoice.
- Provider: The Provider is automatically added when the invoice is generated from an appointment. Once the invoice is generated, the Provider can be changed for each line item, see Editing a Line Item for assistance with changing the Provider.
- Payer: Type of Payer, either Private for the Patient or the name of the Third Party in charge of paying the invoice. The Payer can be changed once the invoice has been raised. See Editing an Existing Invoice for assistance with changing the Payer on an Invoice.
- Total: Invoice payable amount after adjustment if applicable.
- Paid: Amount already paid on invoice.
- Credit: Amount overpaid on an invoice or added as an Account Credit.
- Balance: Outstanding amount to be paid on invoices, shown in red.
