  • Admin and clinic owner
Included in Nursing Home and above5 min

Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open Settings and press Finance controls. Turn on the Ask for approval above a limit toggle, set the limit in Above % and Above ₹, and give a role its own limit if needed. Read the NMC note before fee sharing, then press Save settings to apply the rules to every desk.

Before you start

  • You need to be the clinic admin.
  • Decide how much discount reception or billing staff may give without asking: a percentage and a rupee amount.
  • If you plan to share referral fees, read the NMC note on the same page.

Steps

  1. Open Settings and press Finance controls.

    Tip:You find it in the Billing group.

  2. Turn on the toggle Ask for approval above a limit. It is off until you do.

    Tip:While it is off, staff can give any discount, but above 20% of the bill still needs a reason.

  3. Untick any place that should not ask for approval: OPD bills, Pharmacy sales or IPD final bills.

  4. Set the clinic limit in Above % and Above ₹.

    Finance controls with the approval switch on, the three places it applies to, the clinic limit of 10% and ₹500, the limit for each role and the Save settings button.
    Step 4 of 7

    Tip:The starting values are 10% and ₹500. A discount above either one needs approval. Leave a box empty for no limit on it.

  5. Untick Use clinic default on a role’s row to give that role its own limit.

    Careful:Admins always approve, so they have no row.

  6. Read the NMC note. Only if you need it, turn on the toggle Switch on referral & consultant fee sharing.

    The referral and consultant fee sharing section with the NMC note to read first and the switch, which is off.
    Step 6 of 7

    Tip:Under Calculate the share on, choose Money collected (recommended) or Amount billed.

    Careful:NMC rules prohibit commission for referring patients. Use fee sharing only for lawful, written arrangements.

  7. Press Save settings. The new rules apply to every desk.

    Tip:The button stays greyed out until you change something.

If something goes wrong

What happens when approvals are off?

Staff can give any discount. A discount above 20% of the bill still needs a reason.

Who approves a discount?

Admins approve, plus anyone given the Approve discounts permission in Roles & permissions.

Why can’t I see this setting?

Only admins see it, and only on plans that include the finance controls.
