Create a client bill

Note: You may automate the creation of bills to be created daily or monthly. See our Billing Automation article for more details.

Once you have completed a client session that contains a "Billable Service" with an amount greater than $0, the unbilled session will appear in two different places. You can view the unbilled session in the Pending section of the Client Billing page.

Client Billing Page

You can also view the unbilled session(s) under the client's Billing > Documents tab.

Client's Billing Documents

Clicking on the unbilled session will take you to a screen where you can choose the sessions (if there is more than one unbilled session) to add to a bill.

New bill

When creating a bill, you can change the billing responsibility, edit services (by clicking on "..."), change the price, change the co-pay / co-insurance (if billing responsibility is insurance), add comments, and select when the bill is due. Click the Save button to create the bill.

Sharing a bill

Note: You may automatically share your billing documents. See our Automatically sharing bills and superbills article for details on setting that up. You may also exclude billing document PDFs in the email and only share them through the client portal. You may adjust this from your Billing Settings > Billing tab in the Bill Settings section.

Once the bill is created, you can open the bill and click "..." in the upper right corner, then select Share... or you can click Share at the top of the page.

Share a Bill

Once it's shared, you'll see a Shared indicator.

Shared bill

If you have automated sharing of bills enabled and the bill hasn't been shared yet, you'll see a clock icon next to the Shared indicator. You may hover over to see when the bill is scheduled to be shared.

Shared time

Once a bill is shared and you have Online Payments enabled, an email is sent to the client with a link to pay the bill. Your client may also login to the portal to view and pay bills.

Processing a client payment

Note: You may automatically collect credit card payments nightly when Autopay is enabled. See our Billing Automation article for more details.

Once a bill is generated, you are now ready to process a client payment. All unpaid bills will appear in the Open section of the Client Billing page and the client's Billing > Documents tab. Click into the bill and click the Add Payment button.

If the billing responsibility is Insurance, you'll be presented with an option to add the Client or Insurance payment. Otherwise, it'll take you through the client payment module. See Record an insurance payment article for details on insurance payments.

You can then enter the client payment amount using various payment types.

  1. Credit/Debit/HSA Card

  4. Other

If you have set up Stripe to collect payment, you can select Credit/Debit/HSA Card, then check the Online Payment? box. If you don't already have the client's credit card entered, you may click Add Card. Otherwise, the credit card will be displayed.

FAQ

I refunded a credit card payment directly from my Stripe account. How do I show the refund on the bill in Sessions Health?

If you manually refunded a client from your Stripe account, you can run the refund through Sessions Health too and it'll automatically detect that it's already been refunded within Stripe and just mark it as refunded in Sessions Health. However, if you did a partial refund, you'll need to contact us at support@sessionshealth.com to manually adjust your bill.
