Which workstream helps manage and resolve payments that create credit balances or are undistributed?

Handling credit balances and undistributed payments requires a focused review workflow that surfaces these items for proper posting and resolution. When a payment creates a credit balance—either by overpaying or by not matching to a specific invoice—the item needs careful review before it’s applied or refunded. The Credit Workqueue is built for this purpose: it collects such payments, flags them for staff to investigate, and provides the tools to apply credits to the correct accounts, reallocate funds, or issue refunds as needed. This keeps patient ledgers accurate and accounts receivable clean. Other workstreams serve different functions—Billing Ledger tracks posted transactions, Revenue Router directs revenue to the right place, and Payment Queue handles payments awaiting posting but doesn’t specialize in resolving credits or undistributed funds.
