Charges

🚧

Supported Integrations

For now, charges are only supported for Dentrix, and Open Dental.

Charges represent a patient or their insurance plan being charged money for a service provided. Charges are a "debit" meaning they add to the patient balance, increasing the amount the patient owes the practice.

You can determine whether a patient or their insurance is responsible for a charge by accessing the accountable_type and `accountable_id properties.

Understanding Charges and Procedures

In many systems, all charges will be associated with a completed procedure. You can understand this relationship by adding the query parameter "include[]=procedures" to your requests to /charges.
