1. Search and Select BHT
You can search using the patient's name or the BHT number.
2. Select Speciality
3. Select Staff/Doctor
4. Select Fee Category
Once a staff member is selected, the Fee Category dropdown is automatically set to a sensible default based on who was picked:
| Staff selected | Default Fee Category |
|---|---|
| Consultant | Consultant Fee |
| Doctor (not a consultant) | Assistant Fee |
| Any other staff (e.g. nurse, technician, paramedical) | Technician Fee |
The dropdown always shows all three choices and can be changed to any of them before saving, if the default doesn't match the situation:
Fee Category dropdown, positioned right after Staff/Doctor — defaults from the selected staff member, editable before saving.
5. Enter Fee Amount, Fee Date, and Comments, then click Add Professional Fee
Each professional fee's category is shown, using its friendly label, in the Professional Fees for This Encounter table on this page and in the Interim Bill's Professional Fees tab:
Interim Bill → Professional Fees tab: each fee line shows the staff member and value; the Fee Category set on the entry form drives which bucket (Consultant / Assistant / Technician) the fee is classified under.
Note: If your hospital has the "Professional Fee and Assisting Fees are shown as one charge type on the final bill" setting turned on, Consultant Fee and Assistant Fee entries are combined into one total on the final bill. Technician Fee is never combined — it always shows as its own total, regardless of that setting.
