I think you are overcomplicating the issue by recording the appllication for the refund from the MRA account. No money chnages hands at this point so you could record paying the Doctors bill as
Asset:Check Credit $100 Expense:Medical Debit $100 When you receive the refund Asset:Cheque Debit $100 Asset:MRA Credit $100 If you really want to record applying for the refund, then the easiest way to do it is to use the accounts payable structure. The transactions then become: Asset:Check Credit $100 Expense:Medical Debit $100 On claiming the refund: Asset:Accounts Payable Debit $100 Asset: MRA Credit $100 On receiving the refund Asset: Check Debit $100 Asset: Accounts Payable Credit $100 Since Accounts Payable is usually associated with the business features, you may want to give it another name e.g. Asset:MedicalRefundsClaimed or something similar, particularly if you use the business features for normal invoices from suppliers. It is the accounts payable type structure that you need to complete the cycle of transactions so you record having made and received the claim.
