Hi

 

We are getting great uptake on Dentally online portal, where patients can cancel and book new appointments which is easier for patients, who work same hours and forget to reschceule, so can now do it themselves online. 

 

we have set to allow them to cancel before 48 hours, withing that, they are prompted to call clinic. 

however, we now have many patients, where they have canceleld, and auto expect their deposit refudned, but the system is not able to do it. 

resulting in pts calling or emailing clinic, thinking we have REFUSED to refund them. 

ITs a quick step on stripe link to process this refund, but sometimes, patients will cancel apts weeks out, and we dont see it, and then they call demaning refund. 

 

is it possible to allow auto refund via stripe, or add a note to refund auto txt  / email on dentally, ‘your appointment is now canceleld bla bla bla, if you have a deposit paid you will need to contact the clinic directly to arrange refund, or similar. 

 

Regards

Hi ​@EamonnOMeachair

Thanks for sharing your feedback on Portal, I’m glad it’s working well in your practice! 😊

Regarding refunds and billing, our product team is currently working on a few different improvements that involve Stripe. We’re aware that refunding payments in Dentally needs some improvements, especially for receptionists and practice managers. 

I can tell you that the team is currently exploring ways to provide our customers with a clear workflow for issuing refunds, selecting the source of the funds and presenting clearly what the impact will be to the patient and reports.

We’re still in the discovery phase, but rest assured this is something we’re on top of and hopefully will be able to provide more updates soon! I’ll also tell our PM to reach out to you if they’re interested in gatherinf more information.
