Finance BHT Deposits
A BHT deposit is a security deposit collected at or shortly after admission, before significant charges are incurred. The deposit is held against the patient's account and automatically credited when the final bill is generated. If the deposit exceeds the final bill, the excess is refunded.
BHT stands for Bed Head Ticket — the unique identifier for each inpatient admission.
Main Menu → Inward → Billing → BHT Deposit OR BHT Search → select admission → Collect Deposit

- Navigate again to
inward/bht_deposit_collecting.xhtml. - The existing deposit balance is shown.

The current deposit balance for a BHT is visible on the patient's admission summary and on the final bill screen. It is automatically deducted when the final bill is generated.
If the final bill total is less than the deposits collected:
- The system calculates the refund amount automatically during final billing.
