Billing & Books

Create a bill for a visit, take payments, and print a clean receipt.

Nimo handles a practice's invoicing natively. You create one bill per visit, add what the patient owes, take payments — even in parts — and print a tidy receipt.

Creating a bill

Open the visit and find the Billing card. Tap Create bill. If the practice has set a default consultation fee, the first line is filled in for you.

From there, add line items as needed. Nimo does the maths — you never type a total. The subtotal, tax, and total are always worked out from the lines, so the numbers can't drift.

Bills pull together everything from the visit automatically: the consultation, any pharmacy items dispensed, and any priced lab tests once collected all land on the same bill. If your practice dispenses medicines, see Pharmacy counter for how those items get added and paid for.

Taking payments

Record a payment as cash, UPI, or card. A bill can be settled over several payments — as the balance is paid down, the status moves from unpaid to partial to paid on its own. A remaining balance is always shown while there's something left to collect.

Printing a receipt

Tap the print icon to open a clean A4 receipt with your practice letterhead, the line items, totals, and the payments recorded. As with prescriptions and lab requisitions, the print page hides all the app's buttons so only the receipt comes out.

The Books workspace

Owners and admins get the Books workspace — a finance view with the practice's revenue at a glance. Day-to-day billing is front-desk work and open to the whole team; deeper revenue figures live with owners.

Good to know

  • Bills are reached from the visit they belong to.
  • Each bill gets its own running number (like INV-0001), unique to your practice.
