Apply an Account Credit to a Procedure Transaction

You can apply an Account Credit to a specific procedure transaction within the manage account screen. Any outstanding account credits for the patients are shown in a separate table. The credits will be grouped under due patient and due insurance. Account credits are created when the patient or the insurance company makes a payment to the account and not to a specific procedure charge. This typically occurs when a payment is made before a claim has been created.   If the patient does not have any outstanding account credits, this table will not be displayed.
