Bulk updating private contribution fees with CareHQ
Bulk updating private contribution fees with CareHQ

In April we introduced the new price grid tool and with it the ability to bulk update room rates, booking rates and contract fees. We also expanded the API with new endpoints for invoice item types, location contacts and billing contacts, along with numerous other improvements and fixes.

Bulk fee and rate updaters

CareHQ now supports updating target room rates, booking rates and contract fees in bulk, saving you time and reducing billing errors. Find out more about bulk updating rates and fees.
