Billing and Payment Features
From invoice generation to payment collection and financial handover, all in one connected workflow.

1
Automated Invoice Generation

Invoices are generated directly from visit records and service charges. There is no manual re-entry between clinical records and billing, which eliminates the most common source of billing errors.

2
Multiple Payment Methods

Accept cash, card, advance payments and partial payments at the counter. Every payment method is recorded with a full audit trail for end-of-day reconciliation.

3
Partial Payments and Outstanding Dues

Record partial payments and track the remaining balance per patient. Outstanding dues are visible on the billing dashboard so the team can follow up without manual searching.

4
Shift Handover and Payment Transfer

At the end of each shift, the billing team generates a handover summary of all payments collected. This is transferred to accounts and the shift is closed with a full record of every transaction.

5
Consolidated IPD Billing at Discharge

For inpatients, all charges from the entire stay including OPD, room, pharmacy and procedures are compiled automatically at discharge into a single consolidated invoice.

6
Billing Reports and Revenue Tracking

Daily, weekly and monthly revenue reports are generated automatically. View total collections, payment method breakdowns, outstanding dues and revenue by doctor or department.

Billing That Matches What Actually Happened

The most common billing problem in clinics and hospitals is a gap between what the doctor recorded and what the billing counter charged. This happens when billing is done by manual re-entry. In Lifeline HMS, the invoice is built from the visit record directly, so the two are always in sync. What the doctor records is what gets charged.
