Info

Note: This checkbox is not available for Insurance Credit Card payments, you'll need to use the Print TSYS Credit Card Receipt option to print these off manually.

...

Upon clicking the "Save" button on the Payment Window, a prompt will appear allowing you to select the printer. The printed receipt form matches the dimensions for a DYMO Printer standard size, but you can print it off with any kind of printer.

...

Finally, you can print off both patient and insurance credit card receipts from the Transaction Log, which we'll cover in that section.

...

The second method is to navigate to the Transaction Log node of the Accounting Ability, select the payment in question, and select "Void" from the Actions drop down menu. We'll cover this interaction more in the Transaction Log section.

If the batch has already been closed, you'll need to refund the credit card transaction, as the transaction will no longer be able to be voided. In this situation, when attempting to void a transaction, you would see an "Error - Not Found" message.

Info

It is important to stress that deleting a payment DOES NOT void or refund a credit card transaction.  If you accidentally delete a payment or refund, you can access your non-ledger card transactions in the Transaction Log in the Accounting Ability.

Refunding to a Credit/Debit

...

Card

On occasion you'll need to issue a refund to a credit or debit card. Thankfully, refunding a credit card payment is as simple as refunding a normal payment.

...

Much like when processing a payment, you'll select the desired Card Entry Method, with the exception of Credit - Forced, and follow similar steps as described in Credit/Debit - Transmit and Credit - Manual https://macpractice.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MPHelpDesk/pages/66126247/TSYS+Integration+Set+Up+and+Usage+Guide+12.11+and+earlier#Processing-Credit-Card-Payments-with-TSYS  to process the refund.

If you wish to refund a higher amount than the original payment, you will need to first adjust the original payment's amount in order to refund the higher amount. When adjusting the original payment, you'll likely see an alert warning you that the new amount does not match the card transaction amount as a safety precaution.

Note

Remember that deleting a payment or refund does not void the associated card transactions. If you accidentally delete a payment or refund, you can access your non-ledger card transactions in the Transaction Log in the Accounting Ability.

Refunding to Check

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to issue a refund by check, the best way to accomplish this is to select the credit/debit payment in a ledger, then select Refund as you normally would. You'll still need to ensure that there is an unapplied portion of the payment to refund.

...

For example, in the above screenshot we've typed in "Refund to Check" into the Refund Reference # field. When you are satisfied, click OK. This will create a refund line item in the ledger, and you can then proceed with refunding the patient.

Management Tools in the Accounting

...

Ability

This section covers some of the additional tools and information available in the Accounting Ability. These are located in the new "Card Transactions" section of the sidebar. There's a new node for the Transaction Log, and a new node for Batch Management.

...

If you need to add the Accounting Ability to your toolbar, simply right click any empty space in the toolbar area and click "Customize Toolbar". From this window, you can drag and drop the Accounting Ability to your toolbar wherever you prefer it.

Transaction

...

Log

The Transaction Log contains a history and essential information of all credit card transactions that have been processed through your connected card readers. You're able to search, filter, and perform actions such as voiding/refunding transactions.

...

The layout of the Transaction Log is similar to other nodes in the Accounting Ability. The table will list Transactions in the date range set in the Start Date and End Date. These fields default to today's date.

...

  • Void: This action will attempt to Void the selected transaction. Voiding a transaction will only be successful if the current credit card batch is still open. See Batch Management for further details.
    It is important to note that a voided transaction will not be displayed when looking at a patient's ledger. If you void a transaction, you should immediately navigate to the patient's ledger to address the payment accordingly. We typically recommend refunding the card payment without entering a credit card so the ledger correctly adjusts the balance accordingly, then adding a comment to that refund to document what happened.

  • Print Receipt: This action allows you to print a credit card receipt for the selected transaction, as described in Receipts. This method does not create a new Receipt ledger item. This option functions for both patient and insurance credit card payments.

  • Go To Transaction: This action will take you to the selected transaction in the appropriate ledger.

  • Post as New Patient Payment: This action is used on Non-Ledger Transactions. With a non-ledger transaction selected, you can use this action to post the transaction to a patient's ledger as a new patient payment. You'll be prompted to select the patient you wish to post the payment to. This will allow you to post the payment without having to re-run the credit card transaction.

  • Post as New Patient Insurance Payment: This action is used on Non-Ledger Transactions. With a non-ledger transaction selected, you can use this action to post the transaction to a patient's ledger as a new insurance payment. You'll be prompted to select the patient you wish to post the payment to. This will allow you to post the payment without having to re-run the credit card transaction.

  • Post as new Bulk Insurance Payment: This action is used on Non-Ledger Transactions. With a non-ledger transaction selected, you can use this action to post the transaction to a bulk insurance payment for an insurance company. You'll be prompted to select the Insurance Company you wish to post the payment to. This will allow you to post the payment without having to re-run the credit card transaction.

  • New Non-Ledger Sale: This action is used with no transaction selected. It allows you to run a credit card transaction that is not associated with a ledger patient or insurance payment. You can later post it as a patient/insurance payment with the above "Post as New Payment" actions if you wish. Non Ledger Sales are not reflected on any patient balances and will not appear on reports.

  • New Non-Ledger Refund: This action is used with no transaction selected. It allows you to run a credit card transaction that is not associated with a ledger refund. This option should be used sparingly, as a blind credit sent to TSYS without a connected transaction will raise a flag with their risk mitigation team and will likely be subject to review by TSYS. Non Ledger Refunds are not reflected on any patient balances and will not appear on reports.
    Non-Ledger refunds cannot be tied to any ledger items like Non-Ledger Sales can be.

Batch

...

Management

TSYS will provide more information regarding Batches and how they work and their processes, so this section will focus more on the essentials an office must do within MacPractice to appropriately manage their batches.

...

In order to accomplish this correction, you'll first need to locate the original payment that has the credit card transaction tied to it. You can either navigate to the patient account if you know it, or you can locate the transaction in the Transaction Log.

Once you've located the payment, you will need to delete it from the incorrect patient's account. You will see a warning that deleting a payment will not void or refund the credit card payment.

...

By deleting the payment that the transaction is connected to, you will turn this transaction into a Non-Ledger Transaction. These can be located in the Transaction Log.
From there, you can use the Transaction Log Action "Post as New Patient Payment" or the Action "Post as New Patient Insurance Payment". This will create a new payment, either patient or insurance, and the credit card transaction will be tied to this payment.
You will be prompted to select a patient upon selecting this action.
