Understanding the Billing Queue

When a doctor orders a lab test, or a receptionist books an appointment in the HMS module, an invoice is automatically generated and pushed to the Finance module's HMS Billing queue.

The interface is split into two primary queues:

• OPD Billing: Outpatient invoices (consultation fees, one-off lab tests, health checkups). These are usually settled immediately.
• IPD Billing: Inpatient folios. These are running bills that accumulate daily room charges, nursing fees, and surgical costs, typically settled upon discharge.

Completing a Bill

1. Navigate to the Unpaid or Partial tab.
2. Locate the patient's invoice and click Complete Billing.
3. Select the payment mode (Cash, UPI, Credit Card, Insurance).
4. Confirm the amount. If paid via Cash, the funds will be added to the configured "Billing Cash" account.

Once settled, the invoice moves to the Paid tab and the revenue is reflected in the main Dashboard.
