Submitting Payment Requests 

After you complete an assessment in eMHA, a payment request is created automatically.

If the forms were not completed in eMHA, you can still submit a request manually by clicking Submit Request.

To complete the payment request:

  • Click Submit Request to open the payment request form
  • Check that the assessment outcome has been selected correctly
  • If you completed the medical recommendation in eMHA, or recorded that no medical recommendation was completed in eMHA, the outcome will auto-populate for you
  • If the medical recommendation was completed outside eMHA, or no medical recommendation was made outside eMHA, click the outcome field and select the correct option manually
  • Check that the correct local authority has been selected
