🚨This is an πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia-specific support article if you are based elsewhere head over to this article on how to process a refund. 🚨


Let's take a look at how to process a refund below πŸ‘‡

A "Process Refund" button has been added to the patient account page for practices to easily process refunds for patients either manually or electronically.

Key changes to note:

  • The "Process Refund" button accepts only positive values

    • e.g. I want to refund $20 so I enter $20 to generate a -$20 payment on the patient's account

  • Refunds can be processed manually or electronically for a credit card, debit card or EFTPOS.

  • A Notes field has been added for practices to enter a reason for the refund

    • This note will only appear for internal users and won't be visible to patients, You can hover over the pin to see the note (scroll for image example belowπŸ‘‡)

Electronic processing

  • Can be done using your HICAPS or Tyro terminal by clicking the 'Electronic Save' button.

  • If the 'Transaction Number' field is left blank before processing an electronic refund (or payment), the RRN returned will be entered into this field automatically for future reference if needed.

  • Enter the Merchant PIN when prompted to complete the refund process (same as a manual process)
