Your patients can specifically book in-clinic, phone consultations or telehealth consultations via your online bookings page based on the fees or appointment types you choose to make available. This is based on the Default Appointment Location setting for each fee or appointment type.
This setting saves you time by automatically assigning the appropriate location of each appointment made via online booking. If you are using custom reminder templates for phone or online consultations, this will automatically use the correct templates and even include a link to the telehealth video session, if applicable.
The fees and services available on your online bookings page are also categorised based on their Default Appointment Location.
Note
The Default Appointment Location for a fee or appointment type overrides the Default Appointment Location you have set for your location hours.
If a patient books a fee or appointment type that does not have an Default Appointment Location, the location is set to the Default Appointment Location in your location hours.
