Make patient payments

Patient payments can be made from the Patient Financials area or from the Financials panel on the Patient Dashboard.

• To learn about how to enter insurance payments, see Batch payments overview.

When a patient makes a payment you can choose to enter it as a simple or a detailed payment.

A simple payment is automatically allocated to charges on a first-in, first-out basis. A detailed payment requires that you pick how much of the payment is allocated to which charges.
