Today we’ve released one of the most requested features for veterinary practices in TheraTap: GOT billing.

From now on you can create invoices directly according to the official German Veterinary Fee Schedule (GOT, version dated 22 November 2022) — without external tables, without copy-paste, without typos.

What is GOT billing?

The GOT regulates minimum and maximum fees for veterinary services in Germany. Each service has a simple rate (1×) that you can increase to 2× or 3× depending on effort and difficulty — in emergency service even up to 4×.

Anyone working as a veterinarian is required to follow this fee schedule. Until now this was possible manually in TheraTap — from today it takes one click.

What’s new?

1. Built-in service catalog with search

In the invoice modal, click “Add GOT item” and you’ll immediately see the complete catalog with all services from parts A, B, and C of the GOT — separated by tabs, with full-text search and automatic species filter based on the patient.

2. Factor selection with one click

Per line item you choose the factor (1×, 2×, 3× — in emergency service 2×, 3×, 4×). TheraTap automatically calculates the price and adds the item as plain text with a factor note to your invoice.

3. Emergency service mode

A toggle in the picker enables emergency service mode: you’ll see the higher factors and can add your configured emergency surcharge (default €50 net) with one click.

4. Travel fees directly in the picker

Enter the kilometers driven — TheraTap multiplies by your configured per-kilometer rate and adds the line to the invoice. Or use a flat travel fee per visit.

5. Favorites for your most common services

Services you bill frequently can be marked as favorites — they appear as their own tab at the top of the picker and are shared across the team.

6. Protected against GOT amendments

Every GOT item is saved as a snapshot at the time the invoice is created. Even if the GOT is amended later, your existing invoices remain unchanged — important for legally compliant bookkeeping and DATEV export.

How to enable GOT billing

Open Settings → Billing → Fee schedule
Enable the “GOT mode” toggle
Optionally enter travel fees (€/km or flat rate) and emergency surcharge
Save

From the next invoice modal you’ll see the “Add GOT item” button — and you can get started.

Availability

GOT billing is included at no extra cost in the Max and Business plans. If you’re currently on Basic or Pro and want to switch to GOT billing, you can upgrade to Max or Business at any time in the billing area.
