Payment Types

Overview

Payment types describe payments recorded in a patient's ledger to provide context for financial tracking. Health record systems come with standard payment types such as cash, card, or check. Practices can create custom payment types to match their specific needs.

Use Cases

Payment types are required for writing payments into a third party EHR. Please note that the NexHealth API only reads payments types and does not support the creation of payment types at this time. As such, new customized payment types must be created directly in the EHR via the instructions included in the EHR specific sections below.
