Certainly ... If one has overdrawn knowingling or unknowlingly, and your accounts are at the same institution, the bank has every right to move a certain amount of funds from one to the other in order to protect themselves.

They might be protecting you as well to prevent endless NSF fees from being charged. One would think having money pulled is much better than the over charged NSF fees, which can keep recurring over and over again, which drains money from an account faster than it goes in.

Bottom line - keep track of your finances daily - with todays methods of tracking bank accounts online, there is no rhyme or reason for any account to be overdrawn.

What is the difference between accounts payable and accounts receivable for medical billing?

Accounts payable and accounts receivable are the same for any business, whether service, merchandising, or even medical billing. An account payable is any account that the company or business owes to another entity. It is a liability account and goes under liabilities until the balance is paid in full. An account receivable is just the opposite. Is the account balance of what another entity owes you. Account receivable is an asset account and goes under assets on the balance sheet. Both accounts receivable and accounts payable can be listed as either current or non-current, depending on the length of time required to satisfy the debt. For medical billing let us just say that an account receivable would be an account that a patient (or even government entity) may owe you. Account payable is what you owe the another entity.
