Full description at the business level, process-oriented and functional
(What this page is, why it exists, how it is used, and what business problem it solves)
- What is the Appointment Coupon Page?
The Appointment Coupon Page is a central management screen for coupons, vouchers, and credits related to insurance, based on appointments and given to customers.
It is not just a list of coupons.
It is a control center that connects:
-
Customers
-
Appointment Types
-
Insurance Companies
-
Monetary Amounts
-
Documents (PDF files, invoices)
In simple terms:
This page tracks every appointment coupon from creation → usage → invoice generation.
- Why this page exists (central business purpose)
In medical and service-based businesses, coupons are often used for:
-
Insurance-covered treatments
-
Pre-paid appointments
-
Promotional or compensation services
-
Partial or full payment adjustments
Without a dedicated coupon system:
-
Coupons are lost or misused
-
Insurance billing becomes manual
-
Financial tracking becomes unreliable
-
Duplicate or invalid coupons are created
This page exists to bring order, traceability, and financial control.
- What this page is used for (real-world scenarios)
This page is used daily by:
-
Reception staff
-
Finance and billing teams
-
Insurance coordinators
-
Clinic managers
-
Operations managers
Typical questions it answers
-
Which coupons are unused and still valid?
-
Which coupons have already been redeemed?
-
What value remains on each coupon?
-
Which coupons belong to insurance companies?
-
Which coupons need to be billed to insurance?
- What "coupon" means in this system
A coupon represents a monetary credit linked to an appointment.
Each coupon can contain:
-
Unique coupon code
-
Customer
-
Appointment type
-
Optional insurance company
-
Total amount
-
Remaining amount
-
Notes and documents
-
Status (unused / in use)
This makes each coupon a small financial record, not just a code.

Why insurance coupons are different
-
They represent money to be claimed from insurance
-
They must be billed properly
-
They require document tracking
When insurance is selected:
-
Checkboxes appear in the table
-
Invoice creation becomes available
-
Customer details are automatically resolved
This ensures billing accuracy.
- Amount and Remaining Amount – financial intelligence
Each coupon tracks two values:
Amount
-
The original coupon value
Remaining Amount
-
The value remaining after use
This allows for:
-
Partial use of coupons
-
Accurate balance tracking
-
Clear financial visibility
This prevents over-usage or misuse of coupon value.
