Use Clinic Location Rates and Royalty Fee on a Consultation

Clinics that operate after official hours often charge clinic location rates, meaning that a price increase is applied to consultation items due to higher staff costs during these hours. When clinic location rates have been set, they are automatically applied according to the settings when you add items on a consultation or a treatment estimate.

A royalty fee may also be in use for an item. In this case, the clinic location rates are only applied to a part of the item price.

By default, clinic location rates are automatically applied when you add an item on a consultation or treatment estimate. If you do not want to apply clinic location rates, select the No clinic location rates checkbox in the item dialogue.

In the following example, a 50% clinic location rate is applied with a 50% royalty fee. This means that the 50% clinic location rate increase on the procedure item price is applied only to 50% of the item price, resulting in a 25% increase on the item price.
