If a provider is not selected, charges in OTC will fall under Unassigned provider on the financial Reports.
This will be important to be completed, if you are attempting to keep track of supplements a certain Provider has sold. If this is completed AND the supplements were Paid for, you can run the Generated Income Report by Provider to see what they have Sold.
**This is very helpful if you pay providers commission on these sold items**
Apply the CPT codes for purchase made.
Please note, if a patient would like to buy 2 or more of the same item, you will change the units to reflect the amount purchased.
When you change the units, make sure to click on the total charge amount or somewhere on the screen so the unit amount is no longer highlighted.
If you do not follow this step, the unit will revert to one.
Once finished, select Next

Select Payment button. If not, just select Finished.
The Patient Balance displayed will be for all items purchased plus tax
(if tax is to be applied)
If the patient has a case balance prior to this purchase, that amount will also be reflected here.
*If the patient has a prior balance and you just want to charge the patient the amount for OTC purchases, you can cancel payment screen, hit the back button and add up charge amounts as they will reflect the true amount due for each charge including tax.
