As an independent contractor you have to invoice Lifespan, but we try to make things as simple as possible.
You can invoice via the Lifespan Therapy App! Invoices submitted via EMR will not be processed.
Please submit your invoice by the invoice 'due dates' listed below. So what happens if you don't turn it in by the 3rd or the 18th? Well, they'll still process your invoice, but they can't guarantee they will be done by the direct deposit dates listed on the calendar. After all, they have thousands of visits to process each pay period. With that being said, thank you for reaching out if you're having any trouble and thank you for turning your invoice in after each pay period ends!
*For the 1st to the 15th: Please turn in by the 18th
*For the 16th until the end of the month: Please turn in by the 3rd
Here's a quick guide to help you review and submit your invoices on the Lifespan App:
1. Navigate to the ‘More’ menu on the bottom right corner.
2. Select ‘Invoice History’
3. Here you will see invoices for prior and current pay periods, along with the status of the invoice (Draft, Approved, Submitted, Back to Clinician, Missed, and Paid)
4. Select the invoice you want to review in more detail. On the first tab you will see a Summary with the visit count and total. Select the tabs for “Visit Counts”, “Cosign Table”, or “Extra Fee” to view in more detail.
5. Ready to submit? When everything looks good, hit the ‘Submit’ button and wait for the Accounting department to do their part. You will be notified when the invoice moves to ‘Approved’ and ‘Paid’ status.
Helpful Tip: There is a comment section where you can add notes for the accounting department. If an invoice is returned, you'll receive a notification along with any comments they’ve included.
If you're looking for additional features:
- You can Export invoices from the Paid section
- You'll receive alerts as the invoice moves through each stage
- By clicking Visit Counts, you can review the invoice details more closely
- Alerts will also notify you once an invoice is approved and marked as paid.
An invoice can have the following statuses:
Drafted: Clinician has visits for the pay period but notes are not Completed on EMR.
Submitted: Visit notes are completed and invoice is Submitted for review (Only clinicians can submit, admin cannot).
Approved: Finalized, visits are accurate (Admin only).
Ready to Pay: Invoice is ready to pay (Admin only)
Paid: Final status (Admin only).
Returned to Clinician: Needs corrections (Admin only).
Missed Invoice: Visit notes are completed, but the clinician has not Submitted the invoice after the pay period ends (Automatically updated by the system).
All payments are made via Direct Deposit, using the banking information provided in the Direct Deposit Docusign you completed.
