Describe the action to be taken when a patient writes “paid in full” on the memo line of a personal check, yet the payment is less than the balance due on the account.

What will be an ideal response?


The check should not be accepted as is, as this may legally accept the payment as payment in full. Instead of crossing out the notation, mark the payment as follows: “Received as payment on account, balance due: $(fill in amount).” It is advisable to contact the patient or payer to discuss this further.
