Create and present an invoice

Invoices move from draft to presented before payment is collected. Estimates remain separate until converted.

Before you begin

Only admins and front desk staff can create or change invoices.

1. Review the draft

Open Billing and expand the invoice. Confirm the client, patient, line items, quantities, prices, tax, total, and due date.

2. Mark the invoice as sent

Use Mark as Sent when the invoice is ready to present. A sent or overdue invoice with a remaining balance can accept payment.

3. Choose how to deliver it

Download the invoice PDF, review it with the client, or email a secure payment link when the client has an email address and outbound email is configured.
