About This Automation

Patient payment collection at specialist clinics involves manually creating invoices, sending them to patients, tracking payments, and reconciling deposits across multiple systems.

Automation extracts appointment data directly into accounting software, sends invoices instantly, monitors incoming payments automatically, and flags overdue accounts for timely collection. The result is faster payment cycles and dramatically reduced administrative overhead.

Key features

Create and send invoices in accounting software within minutes of appointment completion
Monitor payment receipts from card processors and bank feeds in real time
Send overdue payment reminders on a configurable schedule without manual intervention
Reconcile incoming payments to invoices and update accounting records automatically
Generate aged receivables reports to identify collection priorities
