Activate/Deactivate a patient account
Active Account
The Patient Accounts screen organizes accounts into Active (the default tab) and Inactive.
An active account includes all accounts that are either active or have a non-zero balance (including inactive accounts with non-zero balances).
Inactivate an Account
- An inactive account includes all accounts marked as inactive.
- Making an account inactive:
- Moves the account to the inactive screen
- Stops the user from creating invoices / receipts directly in the inactive account
- Any inactive accounts will show up in the All accounts screen until the account has a zero balance
- A receipt can be created in another account and allocate money to any invoices outstanding in the inactive account
- Account can be enabled and will still allow a user to, create an adjustment writing of an outstanding allocate it to outstanding items then make the account inactive again
- NOTE: The new invoice screen will create a new account when selecting New invoice if an inactive account has the same details as the invoice created. e.g. I have an inactive account for BUPA for Clintel Clinic. When I create a new invoice for BUPA Clintel clinic a new patient account is created for BUPA Clintel Clinic.
