Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I looked on the Wiki for this topic, because I know we have hashed it over repeatedly, but alas, I did not find anything on the subject of processing credit cards. I have dragged my feet on this about as long as I can. Now at least 2 or 3 times per week I have patients show up with a Visa provided by their insurer to cover their copays. Processing credit cards is just another unfunded manadate, but I better get on with it. My cursory review: If my bank does it, they want $428 for the card reader, a $42 per month fee plus 3.3% per transaction charge. QB can be used for $60 setup fee, $80 card swiper, $17.95 monthly charge, plus $20 per month minimum on the per charge processing fee. Pay Pal Website payment standard has no up-front charges, just 2.something% per transaction fee. For $30 per month can add the virtual terminal, but don’t have to. I’m thinking the last option sounds best. What do you guys use? With no VT, I would just have the patient log on from one of my computers. I guess I would need to put copay’s as a “purchasable” item somewhere on my web site so they can select the appropriate copay amount and proceed to checkout…… Is that how it works?
