In this section we will configure the Services for your clinic. Services are generally defined as any charges patients may receive during a visit. In addition, services could constitute a $0.00 charge – that is a no charge. Examples could be workshops, re-exams or free consultations. When setting up services be aware and try to keep your list simple and concise but complete. If you are unsure about adding a service, leave it off the list and make a note. Adding a service is simple and can be done later if necessary.
A note about pricing – the services we are setting up in this section will be paired with a Default Price. This price should reflect the most common (or original) charge for the service. The Default Price can be changed in a number of ways, depending on the situation.
Services are not Provider specific; unlike Appointment Types you can apply any Service to any patient regardless of their Category, Default Provider or Appointment Scheduled.
When configuring your Services list, keep in mind Inventory can be separated out into another section – so it is not necessary to add these things (vitamins, supplements, pillows, etc) to this list. However, some clinics choose to add their Inventory into the Services list, losing the benefits of the Inventory feature.
