# Billing & Payments

> Patient portal billing tab for viewing and managing payment information within the portal layout.

The Billing & Payments screen is a patient portal tab at the route `/portal/billing`.

## Overview

The `/portal/billing` route is a nested child of the `/portal` layout in `src/routes/pm.tsx`. It renders the `PortalBillingPage` component from `@/cores/pm/pages/portal/PortalBillingPage`. It is part of the PM-12 Patient Portal module, accessed after a patient or authorized individual logs in via `/portal/login`. The exact billing content is defined in the PM core. This route is reached via the portal `PortalLayout`.

## Who it's for

SME: confirm — no explicit `RequirePermission` gate visible on the nested `billing` child route; authentication is enforced by the parent `PortalLayout`.

## Before you start

* The patient or authorized user must be authenticated in the patient portal.
* Navigate through `/portal` and then to the billing tab or directly via `/portal/billing`.
