In Halaxy, the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) is available as a preset funder for practices located in Singapore. This funder customises your invoice billing for CHAS (green, blue, orange), Pioneer Generation (PG), and Merdeka Generation (MG) cardholders.
The CHAS funder also includes preset fees, which include the fee names and rebate pricing of all CHAS services. This means all you need to do is import fees to appointments, set up the patient's claim details, and add your practitioner identification.
In just a few clicks, the appointment invoice automatically configures all the necessary information for you.
This checklist outlines what you need to do to set up your practice billing.
For step-by-step guides for each of these checklist items, refer to the subsequent sections in this article.
