5. The Wrap-Up Screen
When you press [F1 -- Post and Print] from the Payments screen, checkout saves the information you have entered, may print a receipt or ask if you want one printed, and shows you a wrap-up screen. Once you see the Wrap Up screen, the visit has been posted and saved.
The wrap-up screen displays several simple-English messages: the new personal and insurance balances, and insurance and claim submission information.
You can perform a number of useful functions on the Wrap-Up screen.
