There are two ways to use the Text-to-Pay feature from your zHealth dashboard:

B. Send a text to all or selected patients from the Billing Center

2. Scroll down to the bottom of the Invoice. Click on the "Text"* button to send a text message to the patient so that they can pay online just for that Invoice (Patient Responsibility) with their mobile device.
