Post a Patient Payment

  1. Navigate to the patient's chart.
  2. Click Payments in the Window Navigation Panel.
  3. Click the New Payment button. The Add Payments and Adjustments window is displayed.
  4. If the Insurance tab is selected and the backdrop of the window is green, click the Patient tab.

  1. From the Pay Method drop-down, select the pay method that is being used to post the payment. If the payment is being applied from the patient's credits, select PC Patient Credit.
  2. Enter the Payment Amount in the Payment field on the appropriate claim line.

Tip: The Pay in Full button may be used to quickly apply the full amount owed on each respective claim line.
