Linking  an Invoice to an Admission

The reverse process of unlinking an admission from the invoice applies here.

For Statutory Reporting, there is a requirement to include financial line item data in the HCP file. This means all admissions must be linked to an invoice.

The preferred way to manage this is by raising an invoice directly on the Admission record however, there may be occasions where an invoice was raised separately and needs to be linked to the Admission.
