# 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.

### 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;
{% endhint %}
