Email Receipts

CollaborateMD's new and enhanced Receipts feature has been improved to now offer a cleaner, more user-friendly, and easy-to-read format, along with more useful information when printing a patient receipt. Our new receipts also support printing FSA/HSA receipts, which include all the required additional information. We have also added a new email/text receipt feature to help our customers achieve better and more efficient communication with their patients by enabling the sending of receipts via email or SMS text. This provides medical practices with greater flexibility and options for patients to receive their receipts in an effective and easy-to-understand format, enhancing patient comfort.
