Refund a Payment from the Payment Center

Path: Admissions > Payment Center

About

In the event a client payment needs to be refunded, Agencies can do this through Payment History. Or, if your Agency uses Scheduler integration, this can be performed from the appointment itself within the Payment Center. Users must have the Swerve Pay permission of Refund Payments selected within Maintain Users to handle refunds.

Notes

  • When using the Refund Payment functionality, if the client credit is still in the Unapplied Private Payments Form in the Billing Engine, it will be deleted from the Form.
  • If the client credit was previously applied to a Line Item before the refund, then a reversal is displayed in the Unapplied Private Pay Payments Form. See Process a Client Refund in the Billing Engine for more details on how to handle this.
