Stale Date/Escheat a small group of checks

We normally escheat our AP checks on a regular schedule. However, our patient accounting department has done due diligence on some of our patient refund checks and would like to escheat those early. We can't find an easy way to do this though as those payments come out of our main checking account. The only way I can see to do it is to stale date everything, manually escheat the patient refunds, and then manually reinstate all of the checks.

Does anyone do this and know an easier way?
