You will not be taking payment in the Schedule Check Out screen. You will be taking payment in the General Store.
Just because you are not having a claim created does not mean you do not enter codes. You still have to enter CPT Codes for reporting purposes.
Do not make these appointments express check-in and out because with that setting it makes it so you can't enter CPT Codes
