How do I issue a refund to a patient in Barti?

Go to Billing, open the patient's invoice, and use the three-dot menu to select Refund. You can refund a specific line item or the full payment. At least one patient payment must exist on the invoice to issue a refund.

When to issue a refund

  • Overpayment — the patient paid more than their patient responsibility. The invoice will show a negative balance indicating the overpayment amount.

  • Line item refund — you need to refund a specific charge rather than the full payment (e.g., a prescription issue, lab error, or duplicate charge).

Both scenarios use the same refund workflow. See How do I issue a line item refund in Barti? for full step-by-step instructions.


A note on Stripe refunds

If the original payment was made by credit card through Stripe, the refund is processed automatically when you issue it in Barti.
