1The page at a glance

Billing is where you bill patients and follow the money. Four buttons sit at the top. Under them are three tabs, with this month’s numbers on the same line.

On the Invoices tab, your bills are listed on the left. The one you pick opens on the right. By default, owners, managers and billing staff can open this page.

2This month’s money

  1. 1Collected is every payment taken this month, in any way, less refunds.
  2. 2Outstanding is what patients still owe: open invoices, past-due memberships and unpaid deposits. Drafts don’t count.
  3. 3Overdue counts bills past their due date and memberships that are past due.
  4. 4Invoices is how many invoices you have, all time.
This month’s numbers sit beside the tabs.

For a patient who files with their own insurance, open Superbill / Reimbursement (optional) and add the service and diagnosis codes. Practice patients never get emails, texts or bills.

8Void or refund

  1. 1Void takes a bill that wasn’t paid off the books. It stays on record as Void, stops counting as owed, and gets no more reminders.
  2. 2Voided one by mistake? Restore to Draft brings it back.
  3. 3A paid invoice can’t be voided. Press Refund instead.
  4. 4The refund box shows where the money goes back before you press anything. A card payment goes back to the card. Cash or another recorded payment is written down as a refund.
  5. 5Refund all of it, or type a smaller amount and a reason. Then press Issue Refund.

If Aminova can’t tell how an invoice was paid, it refunds nothing and tells you why.
