Note: Payment Plans are currently in beta and accessible only to a limited number of practices at this time.

Practice Admins can create and manage both built-in and custom payment plans, including a "Pay in Full" option, to better accommodate patient needs. This guide covers all steps, including plan creation, activation conditions, and pending balance controls.


Step 1: Navigate to Plan Options

  1. Go to the Payments page.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click Plan Options.

You can view, create, update, delete, or reset the default built-in plans here.


Step 2: Create a New Pay in Full Plan

  1. Click + Create Plan.

  2. In the modal, choose Pay in Full.

Pay in Full: The patient pays the full treatment amount in one transaction.


Step 3: Configure the Pay in Full Plan

Once you select "Pay in Full," a new modal will appear for plan details. Fill out the following:

  • Plan Title: Enter a name for the plan.

  • Discount: Choose whether to offer a discount.

    • Percent: Discount as a percentage.

    • Value: Discount as a dollar amount.

  • Allow Override: Decide if users can adjust the discount when offering the plan:

    • Disabled: The discount amount is fixed.

    • Enabled: Users can adjust the discount, but it must stay within the set minimum and maximum range.

      • Min: Minimum discount value (cannot be empty and must be less than or equal to the default discount).

      • Max: Maximum discount value (cannot be empty and must be greater than or equal to the default discount).

Click Save Plan to save the plan or Close to discard changes.
