POPS FAQs

Does POPS send Receipts via Email or Text after a Payment is made?

  • POPS can send Receipts via email if the option is selected in POPS Management.

How can a Patient manually print a POPS Receipt?

  1. On the POPS Account Dashboard, select the Receipts link.
  2. Select a Receipt.
  3. Select Itemized Receipt.
  4. Select the Print Icon.

Why is there a $0 POPS Payment?

Unless we see broad Payment errors, and most of the Client's POPS Payments are applying and processing as expected, there is most likely no issue on our end.

  • The Patient's card may have had an issue.
  • The Patient's browser may have had an issue.
  • There could be a system deadlock which occurs when multiple activities are happening simultaneously in a database.

Does a declined POPS Transaction create a Receipt?

  • A declined POPS Transaction creates a Receipt with a $0.00 Payment and a declined status.

What constitutes the Patient Balance in POPS, and are Collection Balances shown?

POPS bases the balances on the current open balance.

  • Anything moved to Collections will update and will not be included in part of the Patient's open balance.
  • Once any Patient open balance is moved to Collections, they will not be able to pay via POPS.
  • Collections balances are not posted like regular Payments.

Are POPS Refunds different than Merchant Services/Credit Card Refunds?

If the Client opts a Guarantor out from text notifications, can the Guarantor still receive a two-factor authentication via text?

  • Yes. Opting out does not affect the ability to receive notifications for MFA.
  • QR Code Link: One Year

  • The Patient can use their Email to receive the MFA code.

POPS Troubleshooting

Access Troubleshooting

An individual Patient is struggling to access POPS (not a site-wide issue)

  • Ensure the SMS link is correct.
  • If the Patient is copying and pasting the SMS link, make sure they have removed the quotation marks around the link.
  • Example: "www.stmtpay.co/sx29tQ" should be pasted as www.stmtpay.co/sx29tQ
  • Ensure that the QR Code has not reached the maximum access entries allowed.
  • Admin > POPS Management > QuickPay Max Access Attempts
  • Ensure that the Statement Profile has the POPS link and POPS QR code selected for use on paper Statements.

Error Messages

Payment Not Possible: Please contact X group to make a payment at this time.

  • If there are patient payments that have not been applied, a payment cannot be posted through POPS.

Payment Not Possible

  • Ensure that there is not Escrow on the Patient's account.
