You can add handling and injection fees to medicine items to cover the costs of handling the medicine or administering the medicine to a patient.

A handling fee can be applied to administered and dispensed medicines in consultations or to medicines sold through counter sales. You can use separate handling fees for full and partial packages. For example, you may want to have one handling fee for handling and selling a medicine item as a full package, but a bigger fee when you sell only 4 tablets out of a package as this requires more work in packaging, labelling, and printing instructions.

An injection fee can be applied only to medicines administered in consultations. An injection fee can be a fixed for the medicine item regardless of the administered quantity or added per used unit.

For administered medicines, handling and injection fees can be used in combination.

The general handling and injection fee settings and default fees can be set in the department settings. For each medicine item, you can then use the default fee or add their own, individual handling or injection fee in the item settings. The medicine item settings can be edited and updated also using the import and pricing tools.
