Looking for ways to offer flexible payment options for your patients? In Engagement, you can set up treatment installment options that are customizable to your practice and the treatment being offered. These options ensure that patients can choose the installment option that work within their budget, as well as understand the price breakdown. This will increase the likelihood that they accept the treatment and gives you control over what you accept for patient payment.
