Medical Equipment Rental Billing Software India

Medical equipment rental is pure recurring billing — a patient rents an oxygen concentrator for ₹2,500/month and pays until the equipment is returned, which could be months or years. A DME provider with 150 active rentals manages 150 monthly billing accounts, each with different start dates, equipment types, optional consumable add-ons, and uncertain end dates. Manual invoicing via WhatsApp PDFs or phone calls doesn't scale. FastFee automates the entire recurring billing and collection cycle.
