Whenever you process electronic payments in Halaxy, you can choose to pay the processing fee yourself, or you can pass part or the entire fee to the patient or organisation. Your choice of fee allocation can be set at every payment, but you can also configure a default allocation setting so you don’t have to set it every time.
Fee allocation settings can be configured for a practice group, location, or individual practitioner, giving you added flexibility and control over your payments.

Click Settings > Payments.

Under the Deposits section, click the
Edit icon for the group, location or practitioner you wish to change settings for.
