Unlink and Relink a Payment
You can link a payment to specific charges when you Post Charges in PCC EHR, or when you post payments in the Post Payments (pam
) tool.
If you post a payment and later discover the procedure or payment was a mistake, you may need to “relink” the payment to different procedure.
Read the steps below to learn how to unlink and/or relink a payment to a charge.
Post the New, Correct Procedure
If you need to link the payment to a different procedure, begin by posting the new procedure. Run checkout
, find the patient, and enter the correct physician and date of service. Do not repost the payment in checkout, as the payment is already posted to the account..

Choose Whether to Unlink, or Relink
Next, oops

If Relinking, Select Charges And Apply Payment
