PERMISSIONS REQUIRED: You must have Billing permissions.
This is a suggested workflow to Bill for No-show Appointments. Your Organization may choose to handle No Shows differently. See you Administrator for your Organization's best practice.
- If you haven't already, create a non-CPT service type called "No Show Fee" or something that very clearly states what the fee is for. See Add & Edit Billable Service Types for more information.
- Go to the Appointment and update the status to No Show. See Change Appointment Status for more information.
- Leave the original Service Type for the Appointment AND add your No-show Fee Service Type.
- Create an Invoice for the Appointment like normal.
- Here is where things can differ based on your Organization's policy:
- To charge the Full Session fee PLUS an additional No Show Fee: Email or send the Client Invoice with both Service Types listed (step 3 above).
- To charge just the No Show Fee: Edit the invoice. Enter a zero for the original Service Type amount, or remove the original Service Type entirely. Then email or send the Client Invoice. See Edit or Delete an Invoice for more information.
