Post Non-sufficient Funds (NSF) Overview

Post Non-sufficient Funds (NSF) Overview

When a check is returned due to insufficient funds (NSF), the NSF Transaction is processed against the original Receipt. If the bank charged a fee, this amount may be added to the Patient. The Patient Payment must be posted in full. There cannot be any Escrow on the Receipt for Patient Insufficient Funds. For Insurance Insufficient Funds, the process is different. See Post an NSF for an Insurance Payment.
