Self Pay Billing from Appointment Email
Self Pay Billing from Appointment Email
Self pay patients can pay directly from their appointment confirmation email, making payment collection simple and automated.
How It Works
If you:
Have a payment gateway connected, such as Stripe or Elevon
Have Pre payment required enabled in your calendar setup
This functionality will operate automatically.
No additional setup is required beyond these steps.
What Happens When You Book a Self Pay Appointment
When creating an appointment for a self pay patient:
A Pay button automatically appears in the appointment confirmation email
An invoice is raised automatically
The patient can click the button and pay securely online
Note- this can be over-ridden at the time of appointment creation from the platform if for example you do not want to charge a patient for a consultation

Once payment is made:
A receipt is automatically generated
The billing section updates automatically
No manual reconciliation is required
Patients will also automatically receive a reminder 24 hours before their appointment.
How to Enable Pre Payment
To use this functionality, you must enable Pre payment required in your calendar setup.

If the Pre payment boxes are greyed out, this means a payment gateway has not yet been connected to your account.
Please contact
support@touchpoints.health and we will guide you through setting up a payment gateway account.
