CHARGING PATIENTS

Overview




What is this?
Why is it Important?
CareTrax comes with a fully functioning Books accounting application. This will allow you to charge patients - for any payment type (Cash, Check, Credit Card) and provide a paid invoice (Receipt), with either a print-out or an email. However, Caretrax is not a retail "Point of Sale" (POS) system. It has the ability to integrate with PayPal Here and Square readers, but this functionality is still in development as of April 2019.The health of the practice is directly linked to its ability to collect payments (in any form) from patients.
