The following instructions are to refund a payment that has been processed using RevPayments, and the following criteria must be met for the functionality to be available:
- The user role of the employee must have permission to process a refund. See RevPayments - Setup.
- The patient must have an available credit. Note: A negative balance on the invoice must be granted to the patient's account.
- The refund must be processed from the patient's accounting component. It cannot be processed through the "Grant Credit" screen that is within an invoice.
- The location selected within the Refund modal must have RevPayments enabled.

To enter refund information after a card has been processed, complete the following instructions:
- Access Patients > search for and open a patient > Account.
- Click 'Refund.'
- In the Process Refund modal, complete all required fields.
