Creating a payment model

πŸ“– Learning:

πŸ’‘ What is a Payment Model?

A payment model is a clear guide for your service providers, specifying when invoices are due, defining incentives, and explaining the amount providers receive upon completing patient outcomes

πŸ’‘ How does it work?

A payment model is tied to particular services. Once set up, the service provider can monitor clients and incentives. The approved service and its incentives are then included in the invoice, which is shared with you for processing.
