If the payment is for the balance in full for those invoices, instead of manually completing each payment field, you can select the green Auto Apply button and it will apply the balance amount to each invoice/service line until there is $0 left to apply.

If the payment is for one date of service/one invoice, then you can add the payment within the invoice itself.

Go to the billing screen, select the invoice tab, and find the appropriate invoice (you can search the different fields to do so), one you locate your invoice, click on it.

Select the plus sign on the top right of the invoice and click "Add Payment".

Enter the payment information (remittance date, method, and payment amount), the source and payer/patient will default to the payer level currently on the invoice as the Bill to.

You do not have to Add Invoice because you are creating and posting this payment from within the invoice, so the system is automatically showing you the service lines from that particular invoice.

If the payment is for the balance in full for that invoice, you can select the green Auto Apply Button.

You will now be able to see that the payment has been applied to the line items in full. Select save on the bottom right.

If it is a partial payment and there is still a remaining balance due from the patient, then you can still click on Auto Apply and the payment will be applied to each service line until the un-applied amount equals $0.

If the payment is for multiple dates of service and invoices, then you will have to add and apply the payment similar to the steps gone through in payer payments.

From either the invoices or payments tab, select the plus sign and click add payment.

Enter the payment information (Source, patient name, remittance date, method, and payment amount).

Select add Invoice and search for your selected invoices and click save.

If the payment is for the balance in full for those invoices, you can select the green auto apply button and save.

If it is a partial payment and there is still a remaining balance due from the patient, then you can still click Auto Apply, and the payment will be applied to each invoice and service line until the unapplied payment amount equals $0. Or, instead of choosing Auto Apply, you can enter a payment amount for each invoice and service line into the Payment fields. When your unapplied payment amount equals $0, click Save.
