Expense Management

Your accountant sees expenses once a month. You need to see them today.

Record lab fees, supplier invoices, and clinic costs when they happen. Keep the actual payment movement separate from the expense record so you know what you owe before cash leaves the account.

The practice management platform behind 1,300+ healthcare clinics

From dental to physio, dietetics to aesthetics. One platform, every specialty. Built for clinics that want less admin and more time with patients.

Record costs when they happen

Add general expenses or patient-linked costs immediately. Stop waiting for a month-end Excel cleanup to know where the money went.

Track supplier and lab debt

Keep running balances for configured labs and suppliers. Know exactly what was billed, what was paid, and what is still owed.

Review the daily impact

See recorded expenses alongside operational cash movement and day-end reports. Stop guessing your daily financial position.

Control who sees what

Use plan and role permissions to let staff record daily costs without exposing your entire financial report to the front desk.

Problem

Month-end accounting does not help you run Tuesday's clinic

Lab invoices, petty cash, and supplier payments need an operational trail. Medicasimple keeps recorded expenses close to the workflows they affect.

Month-end is too late

By the time your accountant sends the report, the cash is already gone. You need to know what you owe right now, not three weeks from now.

Supplier balances drift

When lab bills get mixed up with general expenses, duplicate payments happen. You need current-account context to see what remains unpaid.

Profit signals need context

You cannot make decisions if costs and income live in different systems. Operational profit should be reviewed beside recorded payments and expenses.

FAQ

Owners

Quick answers about expense tracking, supplier costs, paid/unpaid movement, and permissions.

Does this replace my accountant?

No. Medicasimple is operational software. It helps teams record expenses and current-account movement, while statutory tax work remains with your accountant.

Can I track lab and supplier costs?

Yes. Labs and suppliers act as current-account institutions. Recorded expenses and payments update their running balance.

Can I track paid versus unpaid expenses?

Yes. The workflow separates the expense record from the payment movement. You can record an invoice today and log the payment next week.

FAQ

Expense workflow

Can expenses be linked to patients?

Yes, where the relevant current-account and treatment setup exists. This provides treatment-linked context for operational review.

Can managers see expense reports?

Yes. The system supports day-end reports, detailed expense filters, exports, categories, and currency views where configured.

Can expense records be edited?

Yes. Expenses can be edited or deleted from current-account workflows, though updates are preferred to preserve the operational trail.

FAQ

Reporting & controls

Who can see clinic expenses?

Access depends on package, plan, and role permissions. You control who sees sensitive financial data.

How does this work for multiple branches?

Expense and reporting context can be branch-sensitive, keeping costs clear across different clinic locations.
