Setting Up a Minimum Payment Amount for Accounts

As an alternative to creating a patient budget plan you can define a minimum payment amount for the account. When the statement is printed, the minimum monthly payment amount is billed.

When setting up a minimum payment amount, the following is true:

• If the account balance is less than the minimum amount:The account balance is billed.

• If no payment is made:The amount due on the next billing statement is twice the minimum payment amount. The amount due increases by the minimum payment amount each cycle until a payment is received.

• The minimum payment amount is due:For each billing cycle or billing statement as long as the Min Payment field has a dollar amount and a personal payment for at least that amount has been posted within 45 days of the date the last statement was sent.

• When you no longer want the account to pay a minimum amount, you must disable this option.
