Get Your Payments Weekly!

Shared by Windell • April 21, 2025

Payments settled by patients through SeriousMD are processed every Sunday evening. After processing, it typically takes 24–72 hours for the funds to appear in your registered bank account.

Want to check your payout status?

Go to Billing > Payouts on the SeriousMD web version or click here to view it directly.
✔ Payments will show as Pending first
✔ Then move to Paid Out once successfully transferred


🔍 Seeing a “Pending Payout” message? Here’s why that may happen:

Reason 1: Missing BIR Form 2303 (Certificate of Registration)
We’re required to collect your BIR Form 2303 to process payouts. This document includes your tax details and obligations.


Upload it under My Profile > BIR Form 2303 on SeriousMD Web.


Once validated, your future payouts will be included in the regular weekly disbursements.

❗ Don’t have a Form 2303 yet? You can still receive payouts, but a 37% tax will be deducted by default.


Reason 2: Missing or Incorrect Payout Details

If your Form 2303 is already submitted but you still see a pending payout, please double-check your bank details under your profile. We won’t be able to process your payout without complete or accurate information.


Reason 3: Sworn Declaration Pending (Optional)
If you've previously submitted a Sworn Declaration, payouts will be placed on hold while waiting for your latest version for this year.

Don’t want to submit one anymore? Just let us know and we’ll update your tax profile accordingly!

How It Works:

The process is still the same when creating a Day Off:

  1. Go to your Calendar/Queue
  2. Click on the + icon on the upper right corner of your screen
  3. Add Day Off
  4. Select a date
  5. Hit Save.

If there are existing appointments, a notification will appear informing you of their schedule.

Manage Appointment Changes with Patients

Shared by Chelsea • January 27, 2025

Imagine this:

A patient books an appointment for two days from now, and you accept it. The appointment is queued for that future date, but after chatting with the patient, you realize you're available to consult right now.

So what do you do?

For future situations like this, you can actually just move the booking from the future date to today. That way, you can avoid going through the whole refund process since they technically paid for an appointment and you're simply rescheduling.
​
In your queue, go to the future date. Click the (...) icon then Move Appointment
​


Choose a different date to update the appointment details then Save
​


This feature is also handy for other scenarios, like when a virtual appointment needs to be changed to an in-person consultation at your clinic. Just move the appointment to the clinic and update the date.

If you charge differently for in-person consultations, you can easily collect the remaining balance from the patient, as they’ve already paid through the platform.

Tip of the Week

When does a booking get automatically cancelled?

Chelsea avatar
Shared by Chelsea • January 20, 2025

A booking gets automatically cancelled by the system if you don't accept a booking request within your set Reply Time Guarantee.

To know your set Reply Time Guarantee:

Go to Clinics ➡️ Clinic Settings

For example, if your Reply Time Guarantee is set to 24 hours:

  • A patient books at 1 PM today.
  • If the booking isn't accepted by 1 PM the following day, the system will automatically cancel it.

What happens if I have a lot of auto-canceled bookings?

When bookings are auto-canceled frequently, the system may interpret this as inactivity. This is because consistent non-acceptance of bookings can signal that you're unavailable to cater to patients.

With that said, your profile may be temporarily hidden. This ensures that the doctors visible on the platform are actively accepting and managing patient appointments.


How to prevent auto-canceled bookings:

Make sure to accept bookings as soon as you get them to avoid cancellations! 😊
