FAQ

Q: What happens if the patient's PatientFi Available Spend is not high enough?

A: If the patient's account credit limit is insufficient to pay for the balance due, 4D EMR will display a message indicating the available balance. Click Cancel to return to the Payment Method selection screen.

The balance due can be reduced by returning to the Money screen and modifying the items in the cart. Alternatively, additional payment methods can be added to the transaction until the PatientFi payment request amount is below the Available Spend.        

Q: How can we update the PatientFi account linked to the patient's 4D EMR account?

A: The PatientFi account number can be entered or edited directly in the patient's Profile by navigating to Patient > Profile > Details > Optional Fields
