# How to dispense and auto-Bill a Patient

When a Doctor prescribes medications to a Patient in the EMR, Clinicea auto-picks the Prescription and displays it to the Pharmacist for billing and dispensing. All the Pharmacist needs to do is, take the payment and dispense the medication. Inventory gets adjusted automatically.

_For Example: Let us assume, the Doctor prescribes a Patient with Amlodipine and Benadryl in the Patient Chart. When the Patient arrives at the Pharmacy; all the Pharmacist needs to do is, open up the Prescription to generate the bill, and take payment._

Let us have a look at, how Auto-Billing works in Pharmacy:

**PRE-REQUISITES:**

**1**. The Doctor prescribes medications to a Patient in EMR. _Ex: Amlodipine and Benadryl. (For more info, please click on [How to prescribe Rx](https://help.clinicea.com/en/article/how-to-re-prescribe-rx-1gxiejo/))_

**2**. A **New Bill** window will open. The prescribed medications will be auto-added to the Bill. You can add or remove items and change quantity. Doing so does not change the prescription.

**Enter Paid Amount** | select **Payment Mode** | **Save**. Alternatively click on **SAVE & PRINT**, if you want to give the Patient a receipt.
