Valant provides the ability to create additional options under the “Payment Type” field when you are applying a patient payment.

1. Hover over Transaction Codes in the navigation bar
2. Click Patient Payments
3. Click New Payment at the top-right side of the window to begin creating a new option. The lower part of the tab will become active.

All fields need to be completed to successfully create a new payment type:

• “Transaction Code ID”: ID that shows in Valant billing and reporting
• “Description”: This is how it will appear in the drop-down menu and on Patient Statements
• “Payment Type”: Select “Patient Payment” or “Patient Refund” depending of what use is needed for the new type
• "Patient Payment Type": This field field will be available only if "Patient Payment" was selected in the previous drop-down menu

If users need to turn off an option, simply place a check mark in the “Inactive” box.
