Billing & revenue
Money that reconciles to the rupee.
Service catalogue, rate plans and packages price every item; invoices get sequential numbers from the server; UPI, cash, card and split payments settle against deposits; and the cashier's day closes with a printed summary.
Who it is for
Every facility, from a single-doctor clinic to a 300-bed hospital.

Hospital billing software built around GST
A hospital is a mixed supplier for GST. Healthcare services by a clinical establishment are exempt, but some lines on the same bill are not, and most billing errors live at those boundaries. Curanto keeps the HSN or SAC on every service and item, prices inclusive or exclusive of tax, and issues credit notes and GST reports.
- Consultations, procedures, nursing and diagnostics: exempt
- Room rent above 5,000 a day, outside ICU: 5% with no input tax credit
- ICU, CCU and NICU charges: excluded from the room-rent levy
- Medicines for admitted patients: exempt as part of treatment; OPD pharmacy at the item's HSN rate
- Implants and other contested items: flagged for your accountant to decide
OPD and IPD billing on one ledger
OPD bills start as a draft cart and finalise at the counter. Inpatient bills build up over the stay against deposits and advances, with interim bills whenever the family asks. Estimates and surgical packages with inclusions are set up once and applied per patient, and rate plans cover corporate, insurer and scheme tariffs.
Payments settle by cash, card, UPI QR or a payment link, or a split of several, and discounts are approved within limits you set for each role.
Invoice numbers you can defend
Invoice numbers are issued by the server from a sequence, never by a device, so two counters can never issue the same number. Finalising a bill needs the connection; building the draft does not. At the end of the day the cashier closes the cash session with denominations and a printed summary.
Dues, collections and payouts
Outstanding bills and patient ledgers show who owes what, collection follow-ups are scheduled and tracked, and doctor and referral payouts run from the same numbers with statements. Expenses and a Tally export keep the accountant's side in step.
Questions
Billing, GST & collections: common questions.
Is GST charged on hospital bills?
Most healthcare services are exempt. The main exceptions are room rent above 5,000 a day outside ICU at 5% without input tax credit, OPD and retail pharmacy at the item's HSN rate, and non-medical items such as the cafeteria. Confirm your mappings with your CA.
Can patients pay by UPI?
Yes. The counter shows a UPI QR or sends a payment link through Razorpay, and the payment is matched to the bill automatically.
Can we bill when the internet is down?
You can keep adding charges and building drafts offline. Finalising a bill and issuing its invoice number wait for the server, so your numbering stays exact.
Does it export to Tally?
Yes. Ledger mappings are set once and export batches carry discrepancy checks, so the accountant receives clean books every month.
