2. The payments will be auto-posted against the corresponding charges.
3. Inbound refund info received via interface will be read and processed in PracticeSuite; meaning that refund payment will be created in PracticeSuite as well.

PracticeSuite will read and process payment information from the latest DFT (Charge message) from Practice Fusion.
1.4 Patient Insurance Update Not Allowed After Billing
Patient insurance updates sent over the interface will not be allowed if claims have already been generated for this insurance. In these cases, new insurance will be created with the provided details. This change is not applicable for accounts that already have customizations done in the insurance API.
Part – 2 Bug Fixes
