Problem

If you don't track the lab, you lose the patient

Every missing crown means a cancelled appointment, an empty chair, and an angry patient. Running your lab flow on memory and sticky notes is too expensive.
Practice manager reviewing a treatment-linked lab case that needs follow-up.
The 'Did we send it?' panic
The patient arrives tomorrow, but nobody knows if the impression actually went to the lab. Reception spends 20 minutes calling around just to find out the case is delayed.
Treatment plan and lab cost card being connected for clearer expense visibility.
Hidden profit leaks
You charge the patient £1000, but the lab bill was £600. If you don't link lab invoices directly to the specific treatment, your profit margin is a complete guess.
Lab payment follow-up organised in a current-account workflow card.
Supplier debt chaos
Lab invoices pile up. When you finally pay them, no one records it properly. You end up double-paying or wasting hours trying to reconcile the accounts.
How it works

From lab setup to treatment follow-up.

Keep lab work on the same operational path as the patient: set up the lab, define the cost layer, attach it to treatment, then follow status and payment actions.

Lab workflow, without another disconnected tracker

The goal is not to replace the lab software your partner already uses. The goal is to help your clinic manage the lab-related work that belongs inside the practice.

Treatment-linked lab context

Lab work starts from a clinical need. Keep patient, treatment, doctor and lab procedure context close enough for managers to follow the operational trail.

Separate lab cost layer

Lab price does not have to behave like treatment price. Keep lab cost visible as its own practice-side layer.

Current-account follow-up
Labs are external institutions. Track lab-related expense and payment follow-up where outside accounts are already reviewed.

Payment follow-up
Managers can check lab-related actions without adding another spreadsheet.
Material awareness

When material context matters, keep it close to lab work and treatment planning. No extra warehouse claim needed.

01Lab Cases

Stop losing track of cases

Connect every lab order directly to the patient's treatment plan. Know exactly what was sent, which tooth it is for, and when it is due back.

02Status Alerts

Green means the crown is here

Reception can instantly see the status of every lab case (At Lab, Delayed, Returned). Stop booking patients for fittings when the work hasn't arrived.

03Supplier Balances

Never overpay a lab again

Log every lab invoice against the specific treatment. Keep a running balance for every external lab so you know exactly what you owe them.

Get started

Ready to organize your lab flow?

Stop calling the lab to ask 'where is my case?'. Track every step, link the cost to the patient, and never book a fitting without the physical work again.

FAQ

Lab workflow

Does this replace my lab's CAD/CAM or milling software?

No. Medicasimple is for the clinic. It manages the business side: tracking what was sent to the lab, when it's due back, and exactly how much you owe them.

Can I link a lab bill directly to a patient's treatment?

Yes. When you order a crown, you can link the lab cost to the specific treatment plan so you know your exact profit margin on that procedure.

FAQ

Costs & reconciliation

Does it alert the front desk when lab work is due?

Yes. The status of lab work is visible in the workflow. The front desk can easily see if a case is 'At Lab', 'Returned', or 'Delayed' before the patient arrives.

Can I manage multiple different outside labs?

Yes. You can add as many external labs as you want under Current Accounts, and track your running debt and payments for each institution separately.

FAQ

Team visibility

Can I see my total lab expenses for the month?

Yes. Because every lab procedure is tracked and costed, you can pull a report at any time to see exactly how much you owe your lab partners.
