What the accountant role sees - collections, refunds and settlements - why gateway fees are not a Treatlly charge, and a monthly reconciliation routine.

Updated 8 days ago · 98 views

The accountant role sees the clinic's money and nothing else. That separation is deliberate: reconciling payments does not require reading anybody's diagnosis.

What you can see

  • Collections — what patients paid, online and at the counter.
  • Refunds — what went back, and against which appointment.
  • Settlements — what reached your bank, and when.
  • Breakdowns — by doctor, by location, by period.

What you cannot see, and why

No prescriptions, no diagnoses, no clinical notes. The role is built so an external accountant can do the books without ever holding patient health information — which is both good practice and much simpler to explain to a patient who asks who can see their records.

Online versus counter payments

These behave differently and should be reconciled differently. Online money arrives in batches, net of the gateway's own processing fee.

Gateway fees are not a Treatlly charge

When a patient pays online, the payment gateway deducts its processing fee before settling to you. That is a cost of accepting online payment and would apply to any gateway you integrated yourself.

Treatlly takes no percentage of patient payments — your subscription is flat and independent of volume. So the gap between what a patient paid and what landed is the gateway's fee, not ours.

Refunds

Refunds are recorded against the original appointment, so you can always trace one to a specific visit. Whether a refund is due, and how much, follows your clinic's cancellation policy — a business decision, not an accounting one.

Note that a refunded online payment does not always return the gateway's fee. Check your gateway's terms.

A monthly routine

  1. Reconcile settlements against your bank statement.
  2. Reconcile counter collections against your own cash records.
  3. Review refunds — look for patterns, not just totals. A doctor with many refunds may have a scheduling problem.
  4. Check the subscription invoice separately (see below).

Keep the two ledgers apart

What patients pay your clinic and what your clinic pays Treatlly are separate:

Because there is no commission, one does not move with the other. A busy month raises your revenue and leaves your subscription unchanged.

Exporting

Figures can be exported for your own books. A clinic admin can adjust which columns are included under Clinic Settings → Export columns — worth setting once to match how you actually work.
