When a doctor prescribes medical investigations for a patient, the IPD/OPD billing system plays a crucial role in ensuring that the patient is billed accurately and efficiently based on the services provided. This process is essential in maintaining smooth hospital operations and ensuring transparency in the billing process.
The workflow typically begins with the doctor or physician entering the details of the required medical investigations into the hospital management system. This could include tests like blood work, imaging studies, or other diagnostic procedures. Once these investigations are prescribed, the information is relayed to the IPD (In-Patient Department) or OPD (Out-Patient Department) staff responsible for managing patient billing.

The billing staff then generates a bill based on the specific investigations listed. This includes calculating the cost of each test or procedure, applying any applicable discounts, and considering the patient's insurance coverage if applicable. The system ensures that each item is correctly priced and that the final bill reflects the total cost of all prescribed investigations.
Once the bill is prepared, it is presented to the patient or their representative for payment. The system may also provide options for partial payments, installment plans, or direct insurance billing, depending on the hospital's policies. After payment is received, a receipt is generated and provided to the patient, completing the billing process.
