Subject: Assistance Needed for Unresolved Payment Issue


Hi Alejandra,


I would like to inquire about the appropriate contacts who can assist in locating payment information. I am currently addressing a situation involving two patients whose payments reflect online; however, when I enter the check number, the search results do not yield any matches. Additionally, upon reviewing the remittance advice, I have found discrepancies between the check numbers. I am uncertain if these checks pertain to bulk payments. Moreover, when I search our bank account for the specified check number, there are no results.

Furthermore, I need to initiate a tracer for check number 1234556, issued on October 18, 2022, in the amount of $2,273.24. Could you please confirm if you are able to assist with this matter?


Thank you for your prompt attention to these issues.
