Refund Organisations
If an organisation has been overcharged for services provided to a patient, refund the organisation.
Before you begin
Tip:
- If you have recorded the wrong payment type or amount, the receipt is incorrect, payment has not gone through and so on, you should adjust the invoice. For more information, see Adjust - Item or Amount.
- Payments by organisations for workers compensation claims, pre-employment checks and so on are not displayed in the patient record.
