Billing-agnostic clinical contact in dental practice (consultation, treatment visit). One contact = one Encounter. Encounter.class = AMB (ambulatory) or HH (home visit). Encounter.account references the billing case (AccountPraxisSchein). ScheinNummer, Scheinart, coverage, and billing quarter live on the Account, not the Encounter.
