Patient Balance at Appointment Levels 

When a user initiates a balance request, the system calculates the amount from the overall appointment balance. For instance, the total balance calculated at the appointment level from the image above amounts to $230. This is reflected in the ‘Patient Balance’ for when Text to Pay is generated for the patient.
