Med Spa & Appointment Clinics

Medical Billing

Collect deposits and balances — without a full POS or RCM stack.

Cash-heavy clinics — med spas first — need to collect deposits at booking, send pay links for balances, and enforce no-show fees without standing up a full POS floor or insurance revenue cycle management stack. Medical Billing is an independent product for the patient financial lifecycle: service catalog, deposits, invoices, packages, connected payment pay links, and webhooks from scheduling and practice management sync. It is deliberately not insurance claims and coding — it is patient payments for appointment-based, cash-pay clinics. Inbound voice AI stays thin; money lives in Medical Billing.

Who This Is For

Med spa and clinic owners running cash-pay patient payment workflows, front desk and billing staff managing deposits balances and pay links, patients paying via secure links without card at desk, and suite operators entitling Medical Billing alongside AI receptionist.

Business Challenges

Common operational pain points this solution addresses for med spa & appointment clinics teams.

  • Front desk takes card over phone with no system record tied to the appointment
  • Post-treatment balances chased via informal payment apps and hope
  • No-show fees exist on paper but enforcement requires awkward conversations without automated pay links
  • Inbound voice AI doing billing instead of booking — Stripe onboarding does not belong in receptionist
  • Insurance RCM is overkill when you need patient payments for a cash-pay med spa

Use Cases

  • Deposit at booking — scheduling fires deposit webhook; Medical Billing records deposit against appointment; patient receives confirmation
  • Voice price estimate — caller asks treatment cost during AI receptionist call; voice tool queries service catalog and quotes approved range
  • Balance due after treatment — staff triggers pay link; patient pays via SMS before leaving
  • No-show fee enforced — patient no-shows; no-show fee policy applied; pay link sent automatically when linked to voice and messaging
  • PMS charge sync — practice management webhook syncs charges when linked

Platform Modules

Core capabilities delivered as integrated modules—not disconnected point solutions.

  • Service catalog and estimates

    Treatment and service catalog with pricing for estimates, invoices, and voice quoting on inbound calls.

  • Deposits and invoices

    Deposit collection at booking via scheduling webhooks; invoice generation for remaining balances.

  • Packages

  • Connected payment pay links

    Patient payment links via connected payments provider — no card handling at front desk.

  • Voice tools (when linked)

    Price estimate, patient balance, and send payment link — inbound voice AI calls Medical Billing when configured.

    Deposit and fee webhooks from scheduling; charge-sync webhook to practice management when configured.

Business Benefits

  • Deposit at book — automatic collection when appointment is scheduled
  • Pay links — SMS and voice balance recovery without front-desk card handling
  • Voice tools — price estimate on the call without bloating receptionist
  • No RCM overhead — patient payments only for cash-pay clinics
  • Thin voice AI — booking stays in receptionist; money lives in Medical Billing
