Category pricing can be established to override the default charge for services or inventory. This can be helpful for automatically charging a Senior rate in your clinic, for example. Category pricing is one of the easiest ways to set a pricing structure and makes future rate changes easy. Setting up category pricing is a three-step process:

• Create the Patient Categories – Navigate to the Patient Category window. Use the ADD button or EDIT to change existing Categories in this screen
• Add the Category to each Inventory Item requiring the specialized pricing – back in the specific Inventory Item click EDIT to make changes, this will activate the ADD PRICE button, click that to choose which Categories to add to the Inventory Item and what the new price will be (repeat this step for each item affected by Category Pricing)
• To finalize the Category Pricing feature, select the specific patient(s) who will be affected by this pricing – in the Patient EDIT screen select the Category from the drop-down menu NOTE: Category pricing will affect only transactions in the future – it will NOT change any transactions in the past.
