Understanding Terminologies
- Split Payment
Split payment refers to a payment process that allows users to divide a single transaction into multiple payment methods. This feature enables patients to pay their total bill using a combination of payment types—such as cash, check, credit card, card reader, or other methods —within one seamless transaction.
Pay through Split Payment
-
The user can access the split payment feature through the Billing Screen accessible via three entry points:
-
From the Left Navigation, click on the “EMR Board” dropdown menu and select “Billing.” Alternatively, you can type “Billing” into the search bar in the Left Navigation.
-
The user can also access the Billing Screen through the patient profile.
-
On the Patient Information Screen, you can access the “Go to Billing” button located under the Quick Actions section at the bottom left of the screen.
NoteIf you access the Billing Screen through the patient profile, you will be directed to that specific patient’s billing information directly and will not need to search for the patient first.
-
From the Billing Screen, enter the patient’s name, phone number, or email address in the search bar. The patient’s First and Last Name, Phone Number, Email, and Gender fields will be automatically filled in. Once the details appear, click the “Go to Billing” button to proceed.
NoteFor step-by-step instructions on how to access a patient’s billing information, please refer to the article titled “Go to Patient’s Billing.” -
If the patient has bookings at multiple clinic locations, a list of those locations will be displayed. Click the “Go to Billing” button next to the location where the patient wishes to make the payment.NoteThe list of locations will not be displayed if the patient has bookings at only one location.
-
You will see a list of bookings associated with the patient. Click the “Go to Billing” button next to the booking for which the patient wishes to make a payment.
NoteIf a patient or walk-in customer wishes to purchase over-the-counter (OTC) products—such as skincare items or wellness supplements that do not require a prescription—click the “Go to Billing” button located in the Over The Counter section. The remaining steps for completing the billing are the same as those used for services and procedures, explained in this user guide. -
You will now see the Invoice Preview, which displays the payment details and the total amount due. To add a tip, click on one of the available tip percentage options or select “Custom” to enter your own tip amount. The tip will automatically be added to the total amount to be paid. Click the “Continue to Payment” button to proceed with the payment.

Next, choose the payment method from the options: Cash, Check, Credit Card, Card Reader, or Other.
