When the expense record has been created and the payment has been associated with the docotor, that is typically not how the payment is made or rather who received the payment. Most of the payments are made to the practice, such as "Springfield Medical Family Center", rather than to "Dr. Joe Smith". Point here is that when the expense register is being printed for tax preparation, then the entry here does not match the entry in the checking register or the statement on the credit card.
A solution might be to have the practice name to the right of the $$ amount. thus, when the entry is make for the payment, then the selection can be made to either the practice or the doctor. I would think that if a doctor is part of a practice, then this can be obtained from the provider record, if there is no practice name in the physican record, then it can default to the doctor.
Makes sense?
