Treatment Plans

You can now show the "balance" and "tax" to patients when presenting a treatment plan.

Screenshot 2023-12-29 at 3.12.05 PM

Show Balance: Enabling the ‘Show Balance’ setting will include the Current Balance amount into the Estimated Patient Portion of the treatment plan cost table. Both negative and positive Current Balance values will be shown. In cases where the Current Balance is zero, the Treatment Costs table will display the zero value.

Show Tax: Enabling the ‘Show Tax’ setting will include the Tax amount in the Estimated Patient Portion of the treatment plan cost table. This will sum up the tax estimates for any planned procedures that carry a tax value. If the Tax amount is zero, the Tax row will not be displayed in the Treatment Costs table. (As of December 2013 three states have imposed some form of “tax” or “fee” on dental services – Hawaii, Minnesota, and New Mexico.)
