Managers of home care services in our world spend too much time on accounting related activities.
Visit types for billing rates is a milestone on our roadmap towards simplifying the accounting for billing rates in home care.
We embrace the fact that families don't need this feature so we're keeping it turned off by default. It means that our product stays simple on the surface, but with a single toggle in the settings, you unlock a whole new set of features related to billing.
You can enable this additional feature through the settings -> Billing screen.
As an administrator, you can configure visit types with associated billing rates. There is also the option to add evening and night rates. The platform will then automatically calculate worked hours based on the set rate windows.
For a planned visit, you can now associate a visit type and close the loop on how visits get billed in the future.
After associating visit types to visits, you now have a whole range of additional data in the reports that can then simply be imported into your billing applications of choice.
