I have a question about how to categorize two items in my chart of accounts. My company received a check from United Healthcare that was reimbursement for out-of-network therapy services. We had already collected payment for these dates of service. United was supposed to have sent the check to the patient, but they sent it to us - the providers. My office manager cashed the check into our business account. I later sent a Zelle payment of the same amount to that patient as reimbursement for the check we cashed that was supposed to have gone to them. How do I categorize the deposited check from United Healthcare? How do I categorize the Zelle reimbursement to the patient? They are equal amounts.
