  1. Relocate a deposit or payment to another episode

  2. Choose if you want highest banding items re-ordered when Billing

    When creating a Per Diem bill, SimDay would traditionally re-order the item numbers based on highest banding.
    However there are occasions when based on the reason for the procedure, the re-ordering isn’t required. So there is now a tick box which you simply untick if you do not require the re-ordering.
    This will not create extra work if you do not need this feature.

  3. View episode notes when Billing

    When billing invoices addressed to the patient (i.e. Uninsured), if the patient is under 18 years of age, the invoice will be addressed to the contributor.
