Posting daily room and service charges
Charges posted as they happen — nothing remembered (or forgotten) at discharge.
Step by Step
- Open the patient’s charge sheet.
- Add room days, nursing fees, doctor round fees and procedures.
- Room rent GST is applied automatically per day (ICU exempt, ₹5,000 threshold).
- Review the running total with the family anytime.
Post Charges Every Day
Posting room, nursing, doctor-visit and procedure charges as they happen — rather than at discharge — keeps the running bill accurate and stops charges being forgotten.
Good to Know
- Room rent GST is applied per day automatically: ICU exempt, ₹5,000 a day or less exempt, above ₹5,000 at 5% on the full amount without ITC.
- Consultation and nursing are exempt healthcare services.
- Set up each service once in the service and room master with its price and GST treatment.
FAQ
- Can nurses post charges? Yes, if their role allows it. Restrict editing or deleting charges to accounts staff.
- What if a charge was posted twice? Reverse it with a note; the correction stays in the record.
