Provider Tagging
Online Dental Payment Attribution Software
With CareStack's Provider Tagging to Receipts, your practice can link a specific provider to every payment receipt created in the system, giving you accurate, provider-level visibility into collections and a clearer picture of how income flows through your practice. No more guessing who collected what, no more disconnected reports. Just clean, attributable revenue data on every receipt.
Enable provider tagging in just a few clicks, choose whether the Provider field should be optional or mandatory at the time of payment, and let CareStack automatically tag providers based on your configured rules. From regular payments to advance payments, payment plans, and Text to Pay requests, every collection point in CareStack respects the provider you've linked, keeping your reports accurate end to end.
Smart safeguards like provider transfer warnings prevent accidental misattribution, while powerful collection-based reports including Deposit Slip, Income Allocation Extended, and Payment Log now include a Receipt Provider filter so you can analyse collections exactly the way your practice operates.
For the ultimate dental software, choose the solution that’s scalable for growing dental start-ups or large DSOs and still affordable for small mobile providers and single-office dental practices. Choose CareStack!

FAQ
Why CareStack Is the Best Dental Practice Management Software
It's a CareStack feature that lets your practice link a specific provider to every payment receipt created in the system. This enables accurate collection-based reporting and helps your practice track income flow at the provider level.
Yes. The Mandatory Provider Tagging setting forces the Provider field to be filled in for every payment.
If the cross-provider warning is enabled, CareStack displays a warning when you try to apply a payment using a receipt tagged to a different provider than the one who completed the treatment. This helps prevent misattribution during payment posting.
When creating a Payment Plan, you select a Receipt Provider, and all receipts generated through that plan are automatically tagged to them. You can view tagged providers in the Payment Plan Control Center. If you edit the provider later, the change only applies to new receipts created after the edit, while historical receipts remain unchanged.
You can tag a provider to any receipt marked as "None" by editing its Payment Details. The same applies to Payment Plans with no provider attached.
Collection-based reports now support a Receipt Provider filter, including the Deposit Slip Report, Income Allocation Extended Report, and Payment Log Report. The Income Allocation Extended Report also includes new Payments and Allocated Payments columns and views, with filters by Payment Category, Payment Type, and Payment Method.
Yes. CareStack supports provider auto-tagging, reducing the need for manual entry while keeping collections accurately attributed. You can learn how auto-tagging works directly within the configuration screen.
