More in Patient entry & billing
The doctor you pick in Ref. By (Doctor Name) does four jobs. It prints on the report. It loads that doctor's special prices. It decides who gets the entry-time doctor message. And it puts the bill into that doctor's sharing reports. The agent you pick in Agent Name puts the bill into the Agent Commission Report.

Questions people ask
The patient came on their own. What do I pick?
Add a doctor named "Self" once in the Doctor master and pick it for walk-in patients. Their bills then stay out of every real doctor's sharing.
I picked the wrong doctor on a saved bill.
Open the entry, pick the right doctor and click Update. Check the prices if the two doctors have different rates.
The doctor did not get the entry message.
Check the doctor's Contact No. in the Doctor master, and that the "Message to Doctor at Entry Time" template has text. The message goes on the first save of the bill. If you fixed the number later, open the bill, save it and answer Yes to Send again?
