Approve or reject a discount request

  • Admin and clinic owner
Included in Nursing Home and above3 min

Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open Billing and press the Approvals tab. Choose Waiting for approval, read the amount, percentage and reason, then press Approve or Reject. Rejecting needs a note. An approved bill discount goes onto the draft bill, which the desk then finalises.

Before you start

  • You need the Approve discounts permission. Admins have it.
  • Discount approvals must be switched on in Finance controls.

Steps

  1. Open Billing and press the Approvals tab.

    Tip:A number on the tab shows how many requests are waiting.

  2. Choose Waiting for approval to see the requests that need you.

    Tip:My requests and History show your own requests and every earlier one.

  3. Read each request: the amount and percentage off, the bill total, the reason, and who asked.

    The Discount approvals page on Waiting for approval, showing one request with the amount, the reason and the Approve, Reject and Withdraw buttons.
    Step 3 of 6
  4. Press Approve or Reject.

    Careful:You cannot decide your own request. Ask another approver.

  5. Add a note and confirm. A note is optional when you approve and needed when you reject.

    The Approve discount box with the amount and reason, an optional note field and the Approve button.
    Step 5 of 6
  6. Tell the desk to go ahead. A bill discount is already on the draft; a pharmacy sale or discharge can now be completed.

    Tip:Press Withdraw on an open request to cancel it. The discount is then not given unless someone asks again.

If something goes wrong

Why is there no approvals tab?

The tab shows once discount approvals are switched on, or while a request is waiting. An admin switches them on in Finance controls.

Does an approval expire?

A pharmacy or discharge approval expires if the desk does not use it within 24 hours. A bill discount goes onto the draft straight away.

Who can approve discounts?

Admins can. A clinic can also give the Approve discounts permission to other roles in Roles & permissions.
