Overview

Office Practicum allows you to delete a payment that has been posted to a Claim. Upon doing so, a patient or payer credit for the deleted/retracted amount will be created for the patient if that payment was an archived, or daysheeted transaction. Archived transactions are displayed in black text. Follow the steps below to void a daysheeted payment from a claim.

  1. Navigate to the Patient Chart.
  2. Search for and select the Patient whose payment should be removed.
  3. Click Claims.
  4. Select the particular Claim and click the plus sign to expand and view all transactions associated with that Claim.
  5. Select the Payment that should be removed.
