This article explains how to get an overview of outstanding invoices and how to follow up with patients who have unpaid invoices. There are several ways to do this in Clinicminds, depending on your preferred workflow.
​

You can find outstanding invoices in two places:

Go to Menu > Finance > Invoices. Here you can filter invoices by day and by month to find invoices that are still outstanding. Use the date filters to select the period you want to review.
​

For a more comprehensive overview, use the reporting feature:

Once you have identified the patients with outstanding invoices, you can send them a payment reminder using the messaging feature. Before you start, make sure you have a message template ready for payment reminders.
​

Go to Menu > Clinic settings > Manual Messages and create a new template specifically for payment reminders. This allows you to reuse the same message for multiple patients, saving you time. Include relevant details such as the outstanding amount, due date, and payment instructions.

Using the outstanding invoices report, follow these steps for each patient:

Instead of sending a regular payment reminder, you can also send the patient a Direct Payment Link. This allows the patient to pay the outstanding invoice immediately through an online payment. This option requires that online payments (Stripe) are configured for your clinic.

Tip: The Direct Payment Link option is especially useful when a patient is still present at the clinic, or when you want to make it as easy as possible for them to pay immediately.
