How to Process a Refund

Updated over a week ago

There are two ways to process a refund in PracSuite:

Processing refunds from an invoice

To process a refund on an invoice that contains payments, place the invoice into Edit mode. You will then be able to select the Refund button at the top of the Items section.

Processing refunds from the Payments section on patient and third-party payer files

To refund any payment, including unallocated payments, go to the Invoices tab of the Patient or Third-party Payer file.

  1. Select the Payments tab

  2. Select a single payment to refund

  3. Select the Refund button to start the refund process

The Refund Window

Once you select the Refund button, the Refund window will appear where you can set the amount to refund, the method used, and provide a reason for the refund.

Click Next to proceed to the Item Adjustment page. On this page you'll need to decide what to do with the outstanding balance once the payment has been refunded.

Item Adjustment options:

  1. None - Add refund amount to item balance

    The invoice will become outstanding for the refunded amount
    ​

  2. Discount equivalent to refund amount

    A discount will be added to the invoice for the refunded amount
    ​

  3. Write-Off equivalent to refund amount

    A write-off will be added to the invoice for the refunded amount
    ​

  4. Manual Adjustment
    This option allow for both Discount and Write-Off amounts to be added manually

Click Next to go to the Summary page where you can review your choices and click on Confirm to finalise the refund.
