Configure a NOVASheet Treatment

In a NOVASheet, the Configure Treatment window displays when you add or edit a treatment. When you link a product from your Vetspire Inventory & Services to a treatment, you can designate the treatment as billable or non-billable:

  • Billable: The treatment must be linked to a product or service. When you record a value for a billable treatment, the treatment is added to the client’s Open Invoice. On the invoice, the Quantity of a treatment line item is the same as the recorded number of units for that treatment.

  • Non-billable: The treatment can be linked to a product or service but does not have to be linked. When you record a value for a non-billable treatment, the treatment is NOT added to the client’s Open Invoice.

Billable treatments display a green dollar sign next to the treatment name on the NOVASheet:

What is an example of a non-billable treatment?

Tasks and Vitals treatments are typically non-billable and are not linked to a product in your Vetspire Inventory & Services.

There are some instances where a non-billable treatment may be linked to a product. For example, let’s say a patient is transferred to a post-op recovery ward. The patient’s owner has already paid for their medications, but the medications still need to be administered during the patient’s recovery stay. As a NOVASheet user, you do not need to invoice the (non-billable) medication product, but you would want to track when the patient receives the medication.

To add or edit a treatment in a NOVASheet:

  1. Do one of the following:

    1. Search for and select a new treatment from the Search treatment to add drop-down menu:

      NOVA_AddTreatment-Menu_MRK.png

      OR

    2. Select an existing treatment on the NOVASheet.
      The Configure Treatment window displays.

  2. If the treatment is not yet linked to a product, select the corresponding product from the Product drop-down menu:

    NOVA_Config_Product-Select_MRK.png

Once you link the treatment to a product, you CANNOT edit the treatment name. The Name field auto-populates with the name of the selected product.

  1. By default, treatments linked to products are set as Billable. Toggle off the Billable? option to set the treatment as Non-billable.

Select the relevant Units type: gm, mg, kg, ml, lbs, bpm, tablets, drops, °C, or °F.

The system matches the treatment Type to the product type. Edit this field as needed.

Select the relevant treatment Type: Vitals, Monitoring, Catheter, Fluids, CRI, Transfusion, Procedures, Medications, Diagnostics, Patient Care, Nutrition, Tasks, or Other.
