How does Cortico make sure invoices get paid?

Cortico links the invoice to the completed document and releases that document only once payment clears. There is no point where the patient has the form but the clinic has not been paid, so staff are not chasing unpaid invoices.

What can a clinic invoice patients for with Cortico?

Common examples are sick notes, insurance and other forms, and similar billable documents and services. Cortico handles the invoice, the payment, and the release of the document together.

How do patients pay an invoice?

Patients receive the invoice by email and pay online on their own device. There is no paper invoice and no need for a front desk card terminal.

How do staff keep track of invoices?

Cortico keeps every invoice in one dashboard — what was billed, what is paid, what is outstanding, and the document each is tied to — so reconciliation does not mean cross-checking separate systems.

Patient Invoicing & Payment Collection Software

Automate invoice delivery and payment for digital forms and services.

Simple, seamless invoicing

Make it easy for patients to pay for services like sick notes and insurance forms.

Invoices generated and emailed automatically
Patients pay online, on their own device
No paper invoices or front desk card handling
Covers sick notes, insurance forms, and other billable documents

Invoicing a patient for a form or a sick note should not be a project. Cortico generates the invoice and sends it by email, and the patient pays on their own device in a couple of taps — no paper invoice, no front desk card terminal, no follow-up call. The clinic gets paid for the work it actually did, through a process that fits how patients already pay for everything else.

Ensure payments, reduce admin hassle

Guarantee payment collection while saving staff time.

Documents released only once the patient has paid
No chasing unpaid invoices after the fact
Payment and delivery handled as one automated step

The reliable way to make sure an invoice is paid is to make payment part of getting the result. Cortico links the invoice to the document the patient is waiting for, so the completed form or note is released once payment clears. Staff are not chasing unpaid invoices, and the clinic is not delivering work it never gets paid for.

Payment and Document Delivery, Linked

Cortico ties each invoice to the document it pays for — so payment and release happen together.

Each invoice attached to the document it pays for
Document released automatically on successful payment
No gap between delivery and getting paid
Runs on Cortico's secure file delivery

When invoicing and document delivery are separate steps, one of them gets forgotten — usually the payment. Cortico links them: the invoice is attached to the completed sick note, form, or report, and Cortico's secure file delivery releases that document to the patient once payment clears. There is no window where a patient has the document but the clinic has not been paid.

Every Invoice in One Clear View

Staff manage invoices, payment status, and documents from a single dashboard.

One dashboard for invoices, payment status, and documents
See at a glance what is paid and what is outstanding
Each invoice linked to its patient and service
Reconciliation without cross-checking separate tools

Invoicing scattered across email threads and a card terminal's day-end report is hard to reconcile and easy to lose. Cortico keeps every invoice in one view — what was billed, what is paid, what is still outstanding, and the document each one is tied to — so staff can answer a patient's payment question or reconcile the day without hunting through three systems.

Part of Cortico's Connected Payment Workflow

Patient invoicing works with the rest of Cortico's clinic toolkit.

Part of healthcare payment automation for all clinic payments
Works with secure file delivery to release paid documents
Pairs with automated no-show fee collection for missed-appointment fees
Connects to custom PDF generation for the documents being billed

Invoicing for documents is one piece of a clinic's private-pay revenue — uninsured visits, forms, and no-show fees are others. Cortico handles them as one connected workflow so nothing billable slips through. To see how patient invoicing could work in your clinic, book a demo below or Contact Us.
