4. Once you have saved the changes, you can start creating appointments. The system will automatically generate a bill with the selected fee code(s) for the patient.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that the bill gets generated on the day the appointment is scheduled for.
Clinical User Drop-Down
You can see the additional option in the Edit Appointment window: the clinical user drop-down field. The user selected in this drop-down will have the generated bills assigned to them. If no physician is selected, the bills get assigned to the user that the appointment is booked with.
Automatically Generated Bills

ON: one claim is generated for the patient with all fee codes separated by a comma.
BC: several separate claims are generated, each claim containing one of the fee codes.

In the ICD code field, search and select the necessary code, then click the $ icon:
