Case Account - Estimate Invoices

Why Use This Function:

The Estimates tab offers a comprehensive overview of all Estimates associated with a Patient's Case. It also allows you to perform various actions directly from the Case Account, such as viewing or editing, downloading, emailing, accepting, and rejecting Estimates.

💡Please Note: Hospital Accounts are linked to each specific Case and not the overall Account of the Debtor/Patient. Each Case is billed separately.
