Alcohol monitoring billing & client management software
Daily-rate billing for SCRAM, continuous alcohol monitoring, and remote breath programs — with client records, automatic reminders, and online payment collection.
Alcohol monitoring is billed by the day, which makes it the least forgiving program to administer manually. A continuous alcohol monitoring client on a $12 daily rate generates a different invoice amount every cycle depending on how many days they were actually on the device, and a single missed adjustment compounds across every future statement. Multiply that by a caseload of eighty clients and hand-built billing stops being realistic.
Tether Pay handles the arithmetic and the follow-up. Set the daily rate at enrollment, choose whether the client is invoiced weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and the platform builds each invoice, sends it, reminds the client before it is due, collects the payment online, and updates the balance. Your staff handle installs, removals, and confirmation testing — not statements.
What alcohol monitoring programs get
SCRAM and CAM programs have their own rhythm: daily accrual, frequent short terms, mid-term removals, and clients under court order who need documentation. These features are built for it.
Daily-rate billing on any statement cycle
Charge by the day and invoice weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. Terms that start or end mid-cycle bill for the days actually served.
Complete client records
Case number, referring court, install and removal dates, program type, contact details, and staff notes live on one profile alongside the full payment history.
Online payment collection
Clients pay their monitoring fee by card, Cash App, or bank transfer from a link on their phone, and the payment reconciles to the invoice automatically.
Automatic reminders before the due date
Email and SMS reminders go out ahead of every due date and again when a balance is late — with per-client opt-out preferences respected.
Court-ready payment documentation
Every payment is stored with its date, time, amount, method, and reference. Print or export a client's complete payment history when a court or attorney asks for it.
Pause without penalty
When a client is in custody, in treatment, or between orders, pause them and both billing and automated messages stop until you resume.
From install to paid, in four steps
Install and enroll
Create the client profile with the install date, daily rate, and statement cycle at the same appointment.
Accrue and invoice
Fees accrue daily and roll into an invoice at the end of each cycle, automatically.
Remind and collect
The client gets a text and email with a payment link before the due date and pays online.
Remove and reconcile
At removal, the final partial cycle is billed correctly and the account closes with a clean ledger.
Why daily-rate programs need automation more than anyone
The math on a continuous alcohol monitoring caseload is unforgiving. If an agency bills a $12 daily rate to seventy clients and misses an average of two billable days per client per month, that is roughly $1,680 of revenue that simply never gets invoiced — every month, quietly, with no error message. Nobody notices because there is nothing to notice: the invoice that was never created leaves no trace.
The fix is to make accrual automatic and tie it to the client's program dates rather than to someone's memory. Once install and removal dates drive billing, the invoice amount is right by construction. Once payments arrive through tracked online checkout, the ledger is right too, and the agency's outstanding balance report becomes something you can actually make decisions from — which clients to call, which to escalate to the referring court, and which are reliable enough to move onto autopay.
Alcohol monitoring clients also tend to be short-term and high-volume compared with long GPS terms, so the administrative cost per dollar collected is higher. Automating the statement, the reminder, and the payment is what makes a large CAM caseload profitable without hiring a second billing clerk.
