If a patient writes "paid in full" on a check against an account that will not be paid in full with the check, the acceptance of the check indicates an acceptance of the "paid in full" remark.

Writing "paid in full" on a check does not automatically mean that the full amount has been paid, and thus the acceptance of the check does not necessarily indicate acceptance of the "paid in full" remark. The creditor may cross out the "paid in full" language and seek payment for the remaining balance owed.
