# AI for massage practices: explain the package balance from checked visits

A client reschedules a massage and now appears twice on the calendar. Before reception tells them how many sessions remain in their package, someone needs to check which appointment actually took place and how the reschedule was recorded.
Reception can ask AI to reconcile the package with attended sessions, cancellations and linked replacements. The result is an explanation of the session balance, without using clinical notes or making treatment recommendations.

## Illustrative example (fictional)

The owner's request: Should both entries count as used sessions?

Information provided:
- Fictional package MP-3 has an original appointment marked cancelled.
- A linked replacement is booked, but attendance is not recorded.

Example result: The records do not establish two completed sessions. The practice needs the replacement's outcome and the applicable cancellation decision.

The next step: Reception checks with the practitioner before confirming the balance.

## Separate the appointment outcomes

Use the session reference and the practitioner's recorded attendance status. A booking, cancellation and completed visit should not all count as use. Missing confirmation remains a question for the practice rather than an assumed session.


## Apply the supplied package decision

Compare the changed appointment with the actual terms and the practice's recorded decision. Keep a replacement linked to its original. If there is a disputed fee or entitlement, prepare the facts for a person to resolve instead of silently changing the balance.


## Prepare a clear balance explanation

Show the starting entitlement, confirmed uses and any adjustment actually completed. Keep clinical notes out of a routine balance response. If one item remains unresolved, explain that specific gap rather than present a final number with false certainty.

## Questions you may have

### Does this apply to medical massage records?

The example only needs administrative references and statuses. Health information requires the practice's appropriate access and handling process.

### How should a rescheduled appointment affect the package?

Link the replacement to its original appointment and use the actual package terms and the practice's recorded decision. Keep disputed fees or entitlement open for an authorised person to resolve.
