The following pop ups will display. Raising an Account for a Patient Raising an account for a patient in Optomate records what the patient has purchased, including consultations (even if being Bulk-Billed to Medicare). It is from this function that Optomate gathers billing information, therefore creating an outstanding balance for the patient. All sales statistics are gathered from the Account facility. You cannot process a Receipt for a patient until they have had an Account entered. To create a new patient account, go into a patient file and click on either the Account button or the down arrow on the New button and select Account. To add a new item to the account, click on the [ ] button as circled in the image above. The stock search screen will open, where you can search for an item by either Code, Description or Model. Alternatively, you can also scan a barcode. In the Charge To column, you can bill to a third party such as Medicare or DVA (NB. When the account is to be paid by a third party). These third parties are called Institutions in Optomate. If the Charge To column is left empty, the patient is billed the associated item.

Cash Sales There are two types of Cash Sales: Generic Cash Sale and Patient Cash Sale.

Patient Cash Sales are used to sell over the counter products to an existing Patient where they are being paid for at the same time. This cash sale will appear on the Patients Transactions. Sell items in exactly the same way as you do in an Account (Cash Sales can take multiple Payment Types, in the same way that Receipts do). Select the Payment Type. If you want Optomate to calculate the Change for you, type in the amount the Patient is handing over into the Tendered Amount box if it greater than the Cash Sale total, the Change will be shown.
