About This Automation

Payment collection in healthcare practices requires daily monitoring of overdue invoices, manual reminder emails, and error-prone payment matching. Staff spend significant time across multiple systems with no coordination, leading to delayed collections and reconciliation errors.

Automation monitors overdue invoices and incoming payments continuously, sends timely reminders automatically, and matches payments to invoices in real time. Collections accelerate and reconciliation becomes same-day instead of days later.

Key features
Monitor overdue invoices automatically and send personalized reminders on schedule
Track reminder history to prevent duplicate sends and respect patient preferences
Match incoming payments to invoices using payment references and amounts
Flag ambiguous payments for manual review instead of guessing
Record matched payments in accounting software instantly
Reduce manual data entry and reconciliation errors

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Invoice Due Date Reachedtrigger

The automation platform monitors daily. When an invoice reaches its due date without a payment recorded, the workflow is triggered.

2. Fetch Invoice Details

The system retrieves the invoice amount, patient name, email, and payment history.

3. Send Reminder Email

An automated email is sent to the patient using a customizable template. The email includes the invoice amount, due date, and payment instructions.

4. Monitor Payment Gateway

The automation checks and the practice bank account for incoming payments linked to the patient or invoice reference.

5. Match Payment to Invoice

When a payment arrives, the system matches it to the correct invoice using the payment reference, amount, and patient identifier.

6. Record Payment in QuickBooks

The matched payment is automatically recorded, updating the invoice status to paid and reconciling the account.

7. Notify

The bookkeeper receives a notification confirming the payment has been recorded, with a summary of the transaction.
