What it is

A fund with what the trust actually set aside, an application carrying the means assessment as declared and as evidenced, an approval, and the concession itself — which is a discount written into BillDesk’s own bill line, not a second money path. The register at the end is what a trust hospital has to produce: who was helped, from which fund, how much, against which bill.

Who uses it: Built for: Every specialty
Reads: Bills, patient record
Writes: Funds, applications, approvals, concessions
Never: It does not let one person assess the means and approve the money: the two names on an application must differ, and both are written from the session rather than from the request.
Access: Only people whose role includes it — the clinic owner decides who
Your data: PHI-lite. Hosted in Boston, United States. On uninstall: All clinical data stays in the record; operational history stays queryable.

How it works

Open the fundFunds takes a name, where the money comes from — trust, CSR, government, donation or the hospital itself — and the amount set aside; the tiles total set aside, committed and left across every fund on the list, and Close takes one out of the choices an application can name.
Record the applicationNew application picks the patient and a live fund, free or subsidised, the amount asked for and why in at least five characters; the card states the rule that follows.
Two different peopleAssess records the means assessment and Approve sets the amount; both names are written from the session in the SQL rather than from the request, and an application can only be approved after it has been assessed.
Apply the concession to a bill lineChoose an approved application, paste the bill line id and the amount; a concession past the approval, past what the fund still holds or past the line it sits on is refused by a constraint, as is a second concession on the same line or a bill belonging to another patient.
Read the registerThe register lists who was helped, from which fund and its source, free or subsidised, against which bill and for how much; Reverse asks why, and a reversed row stays on the list.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not let one person assess the means and approve the money: the two names on an application must differ, and both are written from the session rather than from the request.

It does not commit more than the approval or more than the fund holds — both are constraint triggers, and a concession past either fails.

It does not score eligibility: income bands and BPL thresholds are state rules and trust deeds, and none is typed into this product.

Questions clinics ask

What does CharityCare do?

Free and subsidised treatment, with two people on every approval. A fund with what the trust actually set aside, an application carrying the means assessment as declared and as evidenced, an approval, and the concession itself — which is a discount written into BillDesk’s own bill line, not a second money path. The register at the end is what a trust hospital has to produce: who was helped, from which fund, how much, against which bill.

What data does CharityCare read and write?

CharityCare reads bills, patient record and writes funds, applications, approvals, concessions. Its data class is PHI-lite. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does CharityCare deliberately not do?

It does not let one person assess the means and approve the money: the two names on an application must differ, and both are written from the session rather than from the request. It does not commit more than the approval or more than the fund holds — both are constraint triggers, and a concession past either fails. It does not score eligibility: income bands and BPL thresholds are state rules and trust deeds, and none is typed into this product.
