1. Connecticut-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 6.35% state rate. Services billed to CT customers must include sales tax. Many services taxable (e.g., computer/data, repair, advertising). Combined uniform 6.35%.
- Late-fee cap: Connecticut statute Conn. Gen. Stat. §37-3a caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
- Written contract required: Connecticut requires a signed agreement for any job over $200. Reference the contract number on the invoice.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Connecticut get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Dentist line items + standard terms
Every dentist invoice in Connecticut should itemize work clearly. Standard dentists use Net 30 terms with a 25% deposit required upfront.
- Cleaning + exam — billed by flat (~$220 default).
- Restorative procedure — billed by flat.

3. Dentist licensing in Connecticut
State DDS / DMD license required. ADA CDT codes used on insurance claims. HIPAA compliance required.
4. Send and follow up
Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Connecticut customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
