Is It Legal to Pass Credit Card Fees to Patients?

Most of you have heard about "cash discount" programs where the cost of accepting a patient credit card payment is passed back to the patient. You see people's opinions (expert or not) on forums and many of you have received emails or phone calls from sales people, wanting you to implement this in your practice. Let's filter out all of the noise and get down to the bare facts about cash discount to determine, "Is this really a viable option for my practice?"

Course Learning Objectives:

Is cash discount legal in my state?
How does cash discount work?
Can I implement this in my practice if I take insurance?
How do I weigh the savings versus possibly losing patients?
If I decide to implement, how do I choose a company that won't overcharge my patients?

QuickCast begins at 3:30pm est on our AADOM Facebook Page

Jordon Comstock is the founder and CEO of BoomCloud. BoomCloud exists to help dental practices create, organize, track, and automate a dental membership program as a strategy to reduce dependence on dental insurance, create recurring revenue, increase patient loyalty, and case acceptance. Jordon started his career in the dental industry managing a dental lab over 15 years ago and soon realized the need for our industry to create membership programs. He studied UX/UI design, web development and marketing at the Art Institute of Salt Lake City. Jordon is crazy passionate about helping practices create recurring revenue and helping them eliminate the evil empire of dental insurance.

Ben Tuinei is the Founder and CEO of Veritas Dental Resources. Mr. Tuinei began his dental career in 2007 while working for a small dental corporation in Phoenix, Arizona managing all insurance related functions. During his first few months, he created systems and operating protocols and restructured a 12-person billing department that improved collections from a low 65% to 98%. At the same time, Mr. Tuinei learned how to effectively negotiate with 3rd party payors that gave a boost in annual insurance related revenue of nearly 1 million dollars for a team of only 10 general dentists.
