Doctor Commission

See what each doctor earned from the bills they brought in, what is still owed, and pay it out from cash or bank.

Doctor Commission shows each doctor's share of the bills they brought in, month by month, and lets you pay what is owed. Commission is booked on each bill line that has a doctor and a matching rule.

Before you begin

• Commission rules exist, for every doctor or per doctor. See Doctors.
• Booking is switched on: on Doctors, click Commission for every doctor and tick Book doctor commission on every bill. Until then the page warns that no commission is booked.
• Paying needs the commission pay right, and you need a payment method to pay from.

Where to find it

Open Hospital → Finance → Doctor Commission.

Set the rules

Rules are set on the Doctors page:

1. Open Hospital → Setup → Doctors.
2. Click Commission for every doctor for the hospital-wide rules, or Edit on a doctor and open the Commission tab for their own rules.
3. Choose the Money point (for example OPD fees, Procedures, Laboratory), the Department, the Basis and the Percent or Amount.
4. Optionally set From and To dates.
5. Click Add rule.

The basis is Percent of the line, Fixed per line or Fixed per patient. The most specific rule wins: a doctor's own rule over the hospital rule, a department over any department, a money point over every one.

Read the statement

1. Set From and To, and a doctor if you want one.

Pay a doctor

What happens in the books

• Each bill line with a rule debits Doctor commission (5650) and credits Doctor payable (2370).
• Paying debits 2370 and credits the cash or bank you paid from.
• Voiding a bill reverses its commission. When the commission was already paid, the amount becomes a clawback taken off the next payment.

Common questions

A doctor shows nothing. Booking is off, or no rule matches their bill lines. Bills made before booking was switched on carry no commission.

What is a clawback? Commission already paid on a bill that was later voided or refunded. It is deducted from the next payout.

Can salaried doctors be paid through payroll? Set Paid by on the doctor and link them to HR. See Doctors.
