Accounts

An accounts module within a dental practice management system, used to manage patient billing and account balances.

Praktika uses a tax invoice based accounting system. Tax invoices are represented by the completed appointments where the patient, billed treatment (procedures), provider and the payments are linked together.

Praktika allows claiming of Health Funds or Medicare benefits and lodging EFTPOS payments directly from the completed appointments via HICAPS or TYRO terminals.

System provides a facility for the combined claims and payments for the patients linked together into families.

Praktika also allows taking patients' deposits which can be used towards the future treatment.

Praktika supports automated uploading of the remittance statements from such Payment Plan Providers as Dental Members Australia (DMA) and Denticare. The system allocates the payments from the uploaded remittance statements to the same patient files as the deposits.
