Use this simple trick to stop missed charges at your veterinary hospital

Few are the practices whose income does not suffer from missed charges, and the income from those can really add up.

For procedure codes without a fixed fee, most practice software defaults the fee to zero. However, when finishing a client visit at the checkout counter, it's all too easy to overlook a null entry. To make such items impossible to miss, we assign each of them a value of $1,000. Doing so will surely make the receptionist pause when a vaccination visit is more than $1,000. Then, it's just a simple matter of inserting the correct fee.
