+
+### 2.2 Patient as a Customer
+
+ERPNext, especially the Accounts module, makes use of **Customer** document for booking all transactions. So, you may want to associate every Patient with a Customer. By default, the system creates a Customer alongside a Patient and links to it. If for some reason you do not intend to use the ERPNext Accounts module you can turn this behavior off by disabling the flag "Link Customer to Patient" in [Healthcare Settings](/docs/v13/user/manual/en/healthcare/healthcare_settings).
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="ERPNext Healthcare" src="/files/patient_link_customer.png">
+
+In many cases, you may want to associate multiple Patients to a single Customer against whom you want to book the transactions. For instance, a Veterinarian would require the care services provided to different pets of an individual invoiced against a single Customer. In that case, select the same Customer in all these patients while creation.
+
+### 2.3 Registration Fee
+
+Many clinical facilities collect a registration fee during Patient Registration. You can enable this feature by checking the "Collect Registration Fee" in Healthcare Settings and set the registration fee amount.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="ERPNext Healthcare" src="/files/patient_registration_fee.png">
+
+If you have this option enabled, all new Patients you create will be in the "Disabled" state by default and will only be enabled after Invoicing the Registration Fee. To create Invoice and record the payment receipt, you can use the **Invoice Patient Registration** button in the Patient document.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="ERPNext Healthcare" src="/files/patient_disabled.png">
+
+> Note: "Disabled" Patients are filtered out in all ERPNext Healthcare documents.
+
+### 2.4 Grant Access to Patient Portal
+ERPNext Healthcare allows you to create a portal user associated with a Patient by simply entering the user email id. A welcome email will be sent to the Patient email address to "Complete" registration.
