| There are two different types of invoices in VMIS: a //patient// invoice and a //client// invoice. A patient invoice is created for a patient when it is admitted to the Hospital, unless it already has an open invoice. A patient can have only one invoice open at a time. A client invoice is created when a client needs to purchase something that is not associated with a patient that has an open patient invoice. A client can have only one open client invoice at a time, but can have multiple patient invoices open if they have multiple patients admitted to the Hospital. | There are two different types of invoices in VMIS: a //patient// invoice and a //client// invoice. A patient invoice is created for a patient when it is admitted to the Hospital or when dispensing a prescription refill from the pharmacy, unless it already has an open invoice. If charges were not added to a patient invoice before it was closed, a //supplemental// invoice can be created and used to enter late charges. A patient can have only one invoice open at a time. A client invoice is created when a client needs to purchase something that is not associated with a patient that has an open patient invoice. A client can have only one open client invoice at a time, but can have multiple patient invoices open if they have multiple patients admitted to the Hospital. |

| Hospital services, or [[userdocs:intro:concepts#Responsibility Center|resposibility centers]], have client accounts associated with them and can also have client invoices. While the invoices are handled in a slightly different manner in these circumstances than normal client invoices, they still work like normal client invoices. These invoices are used when one clinical service charges another for services rendered. | Hospital services, or [[userdocs:intro:concepts#Responsibility Center|resposibility centers]], have client accounts associated with them and can also have client invoices.
