What you need to know about a procedure’s form.
Duration and price
Section titled “Duration and price”Duration is the length an appointment for this service is offered with. A new duration applies to the appointments
booked from now on; those already booked stay as they are. Likewise, a new Price applies to the treatments added
from now on, and the treatments already in a plan keep their price.
Dental care is exempt from VAT, and its price is what the patient pays. Purely cosmetic procedures, such as whitening, carry VAT: their price is written without VAT, and the VAT is added on the invoice.
The required specialty
Section titled “The required specialty”Left empty, the Required Specialty field shows Any doctor: any doctor can do the procedure. With a specialty
chosen, the procedure goes only to the doctors who have it in their window in The clinic
team.
The place on the odontogram
Section titled “The place on the odontogram”Place says where the procedure is done on the odontogram: on a tooth, on an arch, on the whole mouth or nowhere, like
a consultation. Tooth Effect sets what the odontogram shows after the treatment, for example a crown or an
extraction. For a tooth, Uses Surfaces asks for the surfaces treated, as for fillings.
Categories
Section titled “Categories”Procedures are grouped in categories, for example Prevention or Endodontics. Categories are added and ordered in
Configuration > Procedure Categories.
