[GNC] Where to charge? Ins pays us, we pay vendor. Resolved

 Thanks Christopher, that is exactly what we did except in this case the insured was covered 100% so your $150 partial payment received would have been $200 full payment received.
Thanks again everyone for the help.

 This is what I would do: (I assume you're the patient attending the clinic). Say the clinic bills $200 and Medicare pays/prepays $150 ($50 co-pay). 

I believe the Expenses:Medical:Rebates is an expense contra-account? The GnuCash account type would still be EXPENSE, but would become more negative with time.

Here is the original scenario:1 - Doctor billed patient2 - Insurance paid patient3 - Patient paid doctor

1. Clinic bills patient    Create bill, include services rendered, post to AP    Expenses:Medical $200    A/Payable: -$200
2. Insurance pays patient    Expenses:Medical:Rebates -$150    Bank +$150
3. Patient pays clinic    A/Payable: +$200    Bank: -$200
