How to Submit Invoices to a Party

Overview

The Submission feature in CompanyOn allows clinics and practitioners to group and submit multiple invoices together under a single third-party contact, organization, or facility without immediately processing payment.

This workflow is commonly used for:
• Facilities
• Long-term care homes
• Organizations
• Insurance programs
• Government-funded services
• Corporate billing workflows

The Submission feature helps clinics:
• Consolidate billing
• Track outstanding submissions
• Organize third-party invoicing
• Simplify facility billing workflows
• Manage multiple invoices under one billing request


How the Submission Feature Works

Instead of processing payments individually for each invoice, clinics can:

  1. Generate invoices normally

  2. Assign invoices to a third party or organization

  3. Select multiple invoices

  4. Submit them together as one consolidated billing submission

The submission acts as a billing package or grouped request for payment.


Common Example

Facility Billing Workflow Example

A practitioner visits multiple residents inside the same facility.

For each client:
• An appointment is completed
• An invoice is generated automatically during check-in

Instead of sending invoices individually:
• All invoices are assigned to the same facility
• The practitioner selects all invoices related to that facility
• The invoices are submitted together using the Submission feature

This creates one organized billing submission for the facility.


Important Benefits of the Submission Feature

Operational Benefits

The Submission feature helps clinics:
• Avoid managing invoices individually
• Track facility or organizational billing separately
• Improve payment follow-up workflows
• Organize external billing requests
• Simplify reporting and reconciliation


How to Create a Submission

  1. Open the Billing module

  2. Select the invoices you want to submit

  3. Click Submit

  4. Select the third-party contact or organization

  5. Confirm the submission


What Happens Next

Once submitted:
• The invoices become grouped under the submission
• The clinic can track the submission status
• Outstanding balances remain visible
• Payment workflows can later be completed individually or together


How Payment Processing Works After Submission

Submitting invoices does not automatically process payment.

After submission:
• The invoices remain outstanding until payment is received
• Payments can later be processed:
• Individually per invoice
• Or as a full grouped payment


Tracking Submissions

What Can Be Tracked

Clinics can track:
• Submitted invoices
• Outstanding balances
• Submission history
• Facility billing workflows
• Payment statuses
• Submission notes and contacts


Important Notes

Key Submission Information

• Submissions help organize third-party billing workflows
• Submissions do not replace invoices
• Individual invoices still remain attached to each client record
• Payments and receipts continue to be tracked normally


Best Practices

Recommended Best Practices

• Standardize third-party organization names
• Review invoices carefully before submission
• Add detailed billing notes when necessary
• Track unpaid submissions regularly
• Reconcile payments consistently
