Credit Card Processing And Billing Software For Behavioral Health
Credit Card Processing
We have partnered with TransFirst to offer a service for processing credit card charges directly though ClinicTracker. No more wasting time entering the information manually. No more awkward standalone terminals. With a single card swipe, ClinicTracker acquires the credit card data, transmits the transaction to the payment gateway, and applies the payment to the patient’s account. Patients can also pay their bills online through the Patient Portal.
Convenient Access System-Wide
You can collect copays and process credit cards at several different points within ClinicTracker:
- Patient Dashboard
- Demographic Record
- Scheduler
- BillingTracker
- Patient Portal
Payment Process
Wherever you access the payment system, you use the same method: On the Collect Copay screen, enter the amount due, payment method, reference number, and any comments you might want to store. When you swipe the credit card through the card reader, the card holder’s name, card number, and expiration date will automatically populate the appropriate fields. If you are accepting a payment by phone, you would simply key in this information. The system automatically applies the specified payment amount to the patient’s account.
If the transaction is approved, the patient receives a receipt by email. You can also print out a paper version immediately or suggest it be printed at home through the Patient Portal. Your clinic can also keep records of patient payments by running reports based on credit card transactions.

As an added benefit, TransFirst offers potential customers a complimentary Efficiency Analysis that compares your current costs for processing credit cards with what they would charge. This analysis comes with a Meet or Beat promise – they will not charge you more than you are paying now. TransFirst’s commitment to meet or beat pricing means that your payment processing will be more efficient and cost effective.
