Kalix allows you to create your own bill templates (account Directors only). By designing your own bill templates, you are able to decide what information is included on bills, superbills, and receipts.
​
​Note: if you are using your bill template to create CMS 1500 forms (for insurance billing), the bill template formats the information to be included on the client receipt only, not the CMS 1500 form.
​
To create a new bill template, click on Billing on the top header followed by New then Template, or click here.
