A patient can be charged immediately after the visit, or you or your billing department (admin) can process the charge later.

Charge a Patient in eVisit

When a provider completes a visit, there is the option to charge the patient immediately or process the charge later.

Note that only completed visits can be charged. If a visit was canceled or a patient did not attend their appointment, you cannot charge for it. Additionally, once a patient has been charged for a visit, the visit can’t be charged again.

Process the Charge at a Later Time Within eVisit

Sometimes, you or a staff member cannot charge a patient immediately after their visit. Fortunately, eVisit provides an easy way to locate these uncharged visits and complete the billing process.

Note that once a patient has been charged for a visit, the visit can’t be charged again, nor can the amount charged be altered.
