# How to set up Family Billing for a patient

Let's say you have a family of 3 i.e. mother, daughter and son. You want all consultations of children to be charged to their family head ie. the **mother**. We will go over on how to set it up.

**1.** We need to first ensure that all members are **grouped as part of the same family**. To do this, open each patient i.e. mother, daughter, son and repeat this. Goto **demographics** | Select **Family** | Click **Change Family** | Search and select the Family Head, in this case, the mother.

**2.** Next, we need to set the default billing of each patient to **Family.**

So open the demographics for the daughter. Goto **Corporate and Membership |** Select the **Bill To** as **Family**. Please have a look at the screenshots below  
  
_Repeat the process for the son too._

**3.** You are all set up. To test it, go to **Financials** | **New Bill** | **Search** for the minor i.e daughter or son. Click on the name.  

In the new bill screen, you will see **Bill To Family** appears along with the family name.

Any dues of the children will now get clubbed under the mother, and she can settle any or all of it with a single payment.
