Selecting items for sale 

  1. In the New sale screen, on the Order items tab, in the Products & services panel, click the Services, Batteries, or Accessories tab.

    To quickly locate the desired item, type the first few letters of the item description in the Quick Find field.

  2. Select one or multiple products or services by double-clicking the items to add them to the sale. The items appear on the Order items tab within the Other products & services panel.

    Batteries which match the patient’s existing hearing aids are highlighted with L and/or R icons, signifying the left and/or right aid respectively.

  3. Click Next.

Selecting the insurer (Canada only)

If the sale will be paid for by an insurer for which special pricing applies, select the insurer within the Products & services panel. Correct pricing is displayed and used for the sale. If the patient is covered by an insurer, whom normally pays the full amount of all purchases, the insurer will be selected by default.
  1. On the Order items tab, within the Products & services panel, click the Insurer drop-down menu to select the insurer.
Items with a benefit code and/or special pricing defined for the selected insurer are highlighted with a check mark. Insurer-specific services are highlighted with a star and are only visible when the insurer is selected. See: Setting up insurer coverage for more information.

If the insurer does not appear in the drop-down menu, enter the policy information in the patient's Insurers tab before continuing with the sale.

Completing the sale

Completing the sale of a stock hearing aid removes the aid from Inventory, and places the aid in 'Active' status in the patient's Hearing aids tab.

  1. On the Cost allocation tab, make any necessary adjustments. See: Adjusting an order for more information.

  2. Click COMPLETE SALE.

    QuickBooks

    Invoices for the patient and any insurers involved are created in QuickBooks.
    Invoices for the patient and any insurers involved are displayed for receiving/applying payment, applying available credit, saving, or printing. A journal entry recording the hearing aid sale is created for the patient, and the transaction appears on the patient’s Sales history tab.
