What this screen actually did

This screen let you link items to an admission type. It was intended to bill those items automatically when a patient was admitted under that type.

It never did that. The screen saved the links, but nothing in the billing code ever read them — no price was stored against a link, no payment method could be set, and no bill was ever produced from one. Anything configured here has had no effect on any bill.

Earlier versions of this page described the automatic billing as though it worked. That description was wrong, and is corrected here.

What to do instead

Configure the charges on Admin — Inpatient Automatic Admission Charges. That page does bill on admission, and it also lets you vary the amount by admission type and by whether the admission is Cash or Credit.

There is nothing to migrate: because the old links were never priced and never billed, there is no charge history to carry across. Re-enter the charges you want on the new page, with their prices.

Existing links

Links created here are left in the database untouched. They are inert and can be ignored.
