Managing the Request

When a Payment Request has been made a record of that request will be located under Patient > Patient Billing > Collect Payments > Payment Requests.  This section includes:

• Date: This is the date the request was first made.
• Full Name: The First and Last name of the recipient of the request.
• Amount: The amount remaining of the request. Partial payments made will reduce this amount.
• Status: The current status of the request.

Once the full amount of the request has been paid, the request will no longer be visible. This indicates that the opening balance of the initial request has been paid in full. You can find all the payments made towards that balance under the Patient > Patient Billing > Payments section.
