# Step 3: Recurrence

Recurring Appointments happen on a regular schedule and **Maica Client Care** will create these in advance based on the information provided at the time of creating the Appointment by completing the following fields.

<table><thead><tr><th width="160.33333333333331">Field Name</th><th width="130">Field Type</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Start</td><td>Date</td><td>The Start Date of the recurring Appointment.</td></tr><tr><td>End</td><td>Date</td><td>The End Date of the recurring Appointment.</td></tr><tr><td>Frequency</td><td>Picklist </td><td>This enables the selection of the following values: <code>Daily</code>, <code>Weekly</code>, <code>Monthly</code>, <code>Quarterly</code>, <code>Annually</code></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Repeat Every</td><td>Number</td><td>This captures the interval based on the Frequency, for example if <code>Weekly</code> is selected, then the number <code>2</code> means <code>Every 2 weeks</code>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Recurring Appointment Cost Calculation

When creating (or managing) recurring Appointments, **Maica Client Care** calculates the projected cost of this series of Appointments as shown in the below screen.

The cost calculation is triggered by clicking the `Calculate Cost Breakdown` link and the following three values are shown:

* **Cost of Appointment** which is the cost of a specific Appointment in the series based on the determined support item.
* **Total Utilised** which is the total amount used so far (at the time of a specific Appointment) from the identified service agreement from which the funds will be drawn.
* **Total Remaining** which is the total amount remaining on the service agreement at the time of a specific Appointment.

{% hint style="info" %}
When the `Total Remaining` or the `Appointment Cost` amounts are shown in red, this means that there are insufficient funds in the service agreement and it is unlikely that payment/claiming/invoicing will be successful. &#x20;
