Bring consultation charges, medicines and payment records together. Whether the patient pays or the visit is billed to insurance, Watson keeps the details and the outstanding amount in view.

INSURANCE, PANELS & TPA
The patient can leave. The panel bill stays in view.
An insurance visit has two endings: the patient’s checkout and the clinic receiving payment. Watson keeps the member details, insurance bill and payment status connected through both.
Capture who covers the visit.
Record the insurer or panel, TPA, member name and number, employer, relationship and patient identification.
Keep the supporting details.
Capture or upload the insurance card and retain the claim reference with the billing record. Review the services and medicines charged for the visit.
Record the insurance bill.
Complete the patient’s checkout while the insurance bill remains outstanding. Your team can see that collection still needs attention.
Confirm when payment arrives.
Once the clinic receives the funds, the team confirms payment against the record. The status reflects collection, with the payment document kept alongside it.

Illustration of the current insurance billing process.
Claims are submitted through your panel’s existing process. Watson records the insurance bill and the payment your team confirms; recording a TPA does not establish a live provider connection.
WHEN THE PATIENT PAYS
Review the bill. Record the payment.
For self-paying visits, keep the services, medicine charges and payment method together through checkout.

THE VISIT, ITEM BY ITEM
Make the charge easy to explain.
A clinic bill can include more than the booked service. The team needs to see and review the work that actually took place.
01
Services and adjustments
Add relevant service charges to the open bill and set the amount for each line. Record a reason with a discount so another team member can understand the adjustment.

Medicine that was supplied
Confirmed dispensing can add the medicine quantity and charge to the visit's open bill. The selling price follows the batches used for that supply.

FROM DUE TO RECORDED
Keep the payment status clear.
The clinic should know whether it is looking at an unpaid bill, a submitted reference, a collected payment or a refund.
At the desk or through a payment link
Record the method used for a collected payment, including cash, card, DuitNow QR, FPX or e-wallet. Online collection depends on the clinic's configured provider and available methods.
Deposits and balances
Where the clinic's booking policy uses a deposit, keep the deposit and remaining balance connected to the appointment. Review the applicable policy and collection setup with the team before enabling it.
Refunds with a separate record
Authorised users can record a full or partial refund against a captured payment where refunds are enabled. Gateway and manual refunds follow their configured process; the original payment and refund remain identifiable.
Does Watson submit claims directly to the insurer or TPA?
The current workflow records insurance billing and payment details. Claims are submitted through the panel’s existing portal or process, and your team confirms payment received in Watson. Automatic claim submission, live eligibility checks and provider reconciliation are not part of this workflow.
Does insurance checkout mark the bill paid?
No. Recording insurance checkout leaves the insurance bill pending. The clinic records payment received once the funds have arrived. Completing the patient visit and collecting the insurance payment are separate events.
Can appointments and walk-ins both have a patient bill?
Yes. Billing can connect to a booked appointment or a served walk-in. Service lines and confirmed medicine supply can form part of the visit's open bill.
Which payment methods can the clinic record?
The collection workflow supports recording cash, card, DuitNow QR, FPX and e-wallet methods. Taking an online payment requires the appropriate provider connection and enabled methods. Recording a method is separate from supplying a card terminal or acquiring service.
Can the clinic print an invoice or receipt?
Yes. The payment document uses the clinic's stored business details and line items. Its document type follows the payment state: an invoice for an amount due, a receipt for a paid amount, or a refund receipt for the applicable refund record.
Does Watson support insurance panel billing?
Yes. Capture insurer or panel, TPA, member details, employer, relationship, patient identification, card image and claim reference. Recording the insurance bill keeps it outstanding after patient checkout. Your team confirms payment when funds are received, updating the payment record.
Is a payment receipt the same as a MyInvois e-Invoice?
This page describes Watson's payment document and receipt workflow. Any requirement for a MyInvois integration needs to be confirmed separately during evaluation and setup.
Does returning medicine automatically refund the payment?
No. A medicine return records the supply and restock decision. A payment refund is a separate authorised action, with its own amount, method and reason.
