If a patient pays via eftpos and a refund is required for whatever reason then:
- The refund is best done on the day of the initial service as no refund can be done over the phone.
- The refund, wherever possible, needs to be done to the SAME card that it was paid on.
- All refund copies are to be scanned into the patient record (much the same as we scan the patient receipt and copy of the merchant receipt).
- If for whatever reason a refund has had to go onto a different card – notes need to be made in the patient’s record indicating why this is the case.
A reminder that a small label needs to go onto the merchant copy – this is how we identify and match the invoice to the patient.
The staff member’s initials who took payment or processed a refund should also be on this label
