Allow Departments to Create Debt Bills for IPD Patients (Preferences )

Overview

This setting allows department users to create debt bills for IPD (Inpatient) patients without routing the billing process through the cashier.

How It Works

1. Departments (e.g., Radiology, Laboratory, Pharmacy) can:

2. Directly raise bills as debt for IPD patients

3. The bill is recorded as outstanding (unpaid) and linked to the patient’s account

4. No immediate cashier involvement is required

When Enabled

1. Department users can create debt bills directly

2. Bills do not need to pass through the cashier for approval

3. Lab and Radiology can add reports by sending the bill to debt.

When Disabled

1. All bills must go through the cashier before processing

2. Departments cannot independently create debt bills

3. Ensures stricter billing control and validation
