Manage a patient’s treatment package

  • Admin and clinic owner
  • Billing staff
  • Receptionist
Add-on: Treatment packages4 min

Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open Packages and switch to Patients. Tabs such as Due or overdue and Expiring soon show who needs a call. Each row has Book and Record, and its menu can freeze, extend or cancel the package. The same actions are on the patient’s Treatment packages card.

Before you start

  • Admins, receptionists and billing staff can freeze, unfreeze and cancel. Only the clinic admin can extend validity.
  • Know the reason first. Freezing, extending and cancelling each ask for one.

Steps

  1. Open Packages and switch to Patients.

    Tip:The cards at the top show how many packages are active and how many sessions were done this month.

  2. Pick a tab. Due or overdue lists sessions due today or missed. Expiring soon lists packages that end within 7 days.

    The Patients view of the Packages page with the Due or overdue tab chosen and each row’s Book, Record and three-dot buttons.
    Step 2 of 8

    Tip:Search by name, phone or UHID, or pick one package type. The Day Planner has the same lists in its Packages tab.

  3. Press Book to book the next session, or Record if the session is already done.

  4. Open the row’s three-dot menu for Collect payment, Freeze, Extend validity, View bill or Cancel package.

    A package row’s three-dot menu open, with Collect payment, Freeze, Extend validity, View bill, Open patient and Cancel package.
    Step 4 of 8

    Tip:The menu shows only what fits the package right now. For example, a package with no balance has no Collect payment.

  5. Choose Freeze when the patient needs a break, such as travel or illness. Type the reason and press Freeze package.

    The Freeze this package panel with a reason typed in and the Freeze package button.
    Step 5 of 8

    Tip:While frozen, no session can be recorded and no reminders go out.

  6. Press Unfreeze on the row when the patient is back. The validity grows by the days it was frozen.

    Tip:Find frozen packages in the Frozen tab. A session that fell due during the freeze is due today.

  7. Choose Extend validity to give more time. Pick 7, 15, 30 or 60 days or Other, type a reason and confirm.

    Careful:Only the clinic admin sees this. An expired package with sessions left becomes active again from today.

  8. Choose Cancel package only when the patient stops for good. Pick a reason and press Cancel package.

    Careful:Cancelling refunds nothing. Collected money stays on the bill, and an unpaid bill stays open until someone cancels it in Billing.

If something goes wrong

Who can freeze, extend or cancel a package?

Admins, receptionists and billing staff can freeze, unfreeze and cancel. Only the clinic admin can extend validity. Technicians see packages on the patient’s record only.

Does the patient get reminders about their package?

Yes, while package reminders are on for your clinic. WhatsApp reminders go the day before a session is due, three days after a missed date, and seven days before a package with sessions left expires.

Can I do this from the patient’s record?

Yes. The Treatment packages card on the patient’s record has Book next, Record session and the same three-dot menu.

What happens to the money when a package is cancelled?

Nothing changes on the bill by itself. Collected money is not refunded and an unpaid bill stays open. Settle a refund or cancel the bill in Billing.
