Extra Charges can be used to create a charge for any product or service that is a direct point-of-sale with patients. Once created the charge can be applied to a patient account. This will be demonstrated in the Patient Accounting and Self Pay Patient portion of the manual.
Create charges for self-pay cash treatments, treatment plans for pre-paid services, and also products sold through the practice.
You can also attach Extra Charges to a category/group that offers the ability to track charge/units sold through billing reports.
