To enter a Payment:
Click on Payments in the Main menu and then on New (or click on the white box attached to the lower right hand corner of the Payments button to go straight to a new entry form).
Type in the patients code and push TAB. The patients name should come up in the boxes underneath.
You will see visits entered for the patient in the lower left hand corner of the screen and whether they are paid or not. (Pd? Y or N)
Type in the dates between which visits are being paid for. At this stage clicking on Calc owing will tell you how much is owing between these dates.
Click on Save Entry when you are happy with the details.
Instead of selecting Save Entry you have the options of printing a receipt with (Save / Rec + Visits) or without (Save / Print receipt) visits on it. The payment entry is also saved with these options.
N.B. Clicking on the circular PAY button in the Visit or Visit list or Today’s Visit will take you to the Payment screen and Auto enter the Patient’s code. If you are entering multiple payments for ‘Today’ clicking on Today’s Visits will take you to a Visit list for Today. Select the Patient you are paying for and Click PAY. Details for the previous payment for this Code will be entered Auto and so save quite a bit of time in many cases.
