How to do a Pre-Payment Refund in DentalWriter Plus+

This article will go over issuing a Pre-Payment Refund in DentalWriter Plus+

You are able to add in a patient payment before treatment begins and it will go in as a pre-payment in their ledger. You will see it listed in the upper left corner of the ledger in the Pre-Payment/Unapplied Payments box.

If the patient decides they do not want to go through with treatment and are asking for a refund of that pre-payment you will navigate to the right side of the patient's ledger to the Ellipsis or 3 vertical dots next to "+Ledger Note".  Click on the ellipsis and you will see "Refund Pre-Payment" at the bottom of the list.

Once you click on "Refund Pre-Payment" the next box that pops up is the New Adjustment for Pre-Payment. You will notice that it will add in the total amount of the Pre-Payment automatically for you. You can then add in a memo note and check the box to include in the patient's statement if you would like.
