Packages are multiple fees that are bundled together and offered to patients or organisations. You can group services and products in a package as a treatment plan, or offer multiple appointments at a discounted rate.
Offering packages at your practice can provide benefits, such as:
-
Driving an increase in bookings and revenue
-
Providing discounts to patients as incentive
-
Creating curated treatment plans for patients
-
Adding visibility for your services.
