Credit Card Processing for Dermatology Practices
A dermatology practice may collect a copay at the desk, take a deposit for a scheduled treatment package, or send a balance through a patient portal. We explain how each payment type is reflected in the statement.
Credit card processing for dermatology practices starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for dermatology practices line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a dermatology practice get a merchant account?
Yes, most dermatology practices can. Approval rests with the processor after reviewing the business, the owner and processing history; nobody can promise it. Staff should distinguish reception copays from treatment package deposits and balances paid through portals. Send one recent statement and we will review it free.
