  Key Concepts: 
  Interim billing is a feature of the IS-H SAP for Healthcare module that allows healthcare providers to bill patients for services rendered before the completion of a treatment plan. This feature allows providers to bill for services as they are completed, rather than waiting until the entire treatment plan is finished. This helps to ensure that providers are paid in a timely manner and that patients are not overbilled. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Interim billing can be used by healthcare providers to bill patients for services as they are completed. The provider can enter the patient's information into the system, select the services that have been completed, and then generate an invoice for those services. The invoice can then be sent to the patient or their insurance company for payment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using interim billing, it is important to keep track of all services that have been completed and billed for. This will help ensure that patients are not overbilled and that providers are paid in a timely manner. Additionally, it is important to keep accurate records of all invoices generated so that any discrepancies can be quickly identified and resolved.
