Patients can pay their copay in myPennMedicine starting at 4 days before visits. This functions the same for telehealth visits as it does for in-person visits. Practices should ensure that HARs for visits are created at least 4 days before visits to ensure that patients see their copays in myPennMedicine.
If the patient paid their copay via myPennMedicine, was checked in prior to their visit, no-showed for their appointment, and:
- Was recognized as a No Show on that same day: their copay will be refunded through the normal “day of” refund process
