Bright Smiles and Healthy Finances: How Dentists Can Benefit From Check Processing Services

Posted by Patrik Jorgensen | Wed, Jul 24, 2024 @ 12:16 PM

With CrossCheck's payment processing services, dentists can ensure healthy smiles while protecting their business.In the world of dentistry, healthy smiles are a top priority. But for many patients, achieving those smiles can come with a financial hurdle. The cost of dental procedures, especially orthodontics like braces, can strain even the most prepared budgets. As a dentist, you understand this, and offering flexible payment options is key to ensuring your patients get the care they need.

This is where checks come in. Checks remain a popular payment method, particularly for larger procedures. However, processing checks on your own may lead to errors, potential fraud and uncollected funds. This is where CrossCheck can step in and streamline your check acceptance process.

CrossCheck: A Suite of Solutions for Dentists

CrossCheck offers a variety of tools to make accepting checks a secure and efficient experience for both you and your patients. Here's a breakdown of some key features:

  • Check Verification: This service electronically verifies the check information against a national database, helping to identify potential issues - like a history of bad checks -  before the service is rendered.
  • Check Guarantee: For an added layer of security, CrossCheck can guarantee the funds on a check, protecting your practice from non-sufficient funds (NSF) or a stop payment order by the customer.

The Power of Multiple Check

Making sure a child can get braces can be daunting for parents. CrossCheck's Multiple Check is a helpful and less expensive solution than credit cards.CrossCheck's Multiple Check service allows the patient - or the parent of a patient - to spread out the payment over several checks. Most parents have at one point or another been astounded by the cost of braces for their teen. According to Healthline.com; braces cost somewhere between $3,000 to more than $10,000. Reluctantly reaching into our wallets for a credit card, which will likely carry a minimum 3% payment processing fee, can be painful.

Instead, paying by check will be much less expensive in the long run. And with CrossCheck's Multiple Check service, both the patient and dentist can save money on fees, all while ensuring healthy teeth for the next generation.

Beyond Checks: A Full Spectrum of Payment Options

CrossCheck understands that checks aren't the only way patients want to pay. They also offer solutions for:

  • ACH Payments: Allow patients to electronically transfer funds directly from their checking or savings account.
  • Mobile Pay: Use a smart device for a contactless and convenient payment experience.

By offering a variety of payment options, including traditional checks with CrossCheck's advanced features, you can cater to your patients' financial preferences and ensure they can receive the essential dental care they deserve. After all, a healthy smile shouldn't come at the cost of financial stress.
