Use EFTPOS When Recording a Visit

Receive a patient's payment for a visit via EFTPOS.

Procedure

  1. In the Record Visit window, in Payment Options, select Pay Now.
  2. For Integrated EFTPOS Transactions, in the Payment Type column, select EFTPOS Auto.
  3. In Bank To, select the bank account in which to bank the receipt.
  4. Click Receipt. Pracsoft begins processing the Integrated EFTPOS Auto transactions. It sends the merchant ID of the selected bank account, and the payment amount, to the EFTPOS Auto Device.
  5. Pracsoft displays a screen that prompts you with each step of the EFTPOS transaction so you can ask the patient to insert their card, enter their PIN, and so on.
  6. Once the payment transaction has completed successfully, save or save and print the receipt as usual.
    Tip:
    Once a Integrated EFTPOS Transaction has been successful, you can't cancel the account because payment has been received and visit has been transmitted to Medicare Australia.

Results

The patient's EFTPOS payment is processed.
