How do I create and process invoices in Barti?

In Barti, you can create an invoice directly from a completed exam or from an optical order. Once created, you can post payments against the invoice from the same screen.

Create an invoice from an exam

  1. Open the patient's exam.

  2. Click Create Invoice at the top of the exam.

  3. Choose the appropriate services based on the CPT codes added to the exam

  4. Click Create Invoice.


Create an invoice from an optical order

  1. Open the patient's optical order (*NOTE*, an Optical Order must be SAVED in order for invoice options to appear).

  2. Click Invoice Options.

  3. Choose to Create New Invoice or Add to Existing Invoice


Post a payment

  1. Open the invoice.

  2. Click + Patient Payment or + Insurance Payment

  3. Choose the Payment Method.

  4. For Patient Payments, click on the down carat in the Amount Paid field to choose what to pay per line item or do a partial payment.

  5. Click Add Payment or Add Insurance Payment.

The invoice updates to reflect the payment and shows the remaining balance, if any.


What you'll see when it works

The invoice appears in the patient's record with a status of PENDING when first created. Once the balance is zeroed out with a payment, the status will automatically change to PAID. Payment history is visible on the invoice.


Troubleshooting

Can I edit an invoice after it's been created?

Yes! Almost anything on the invoice can be edited. You can do in line edits to Charges or you can click on the three dot menu and click Edit to edit a specific line item. Payments can also be edited. You can also make internal notes at the bottom of the invoice. If you click Get History at the very bottom of the invoice, you can see a history of all changes made to the invoice.

Can I create an invoice without linking it to an exam or order?

Technically, yes. Invoices MUST be tied to a patient, but it isn't required to link it to a specific exam - although it's highly recommended.

Where do I find a patient's invoice history?

Invoices are accessible from the patient's profile under the Invoices tab.
