Course overview

Explore the impact of surcharging where patients cover the credit card processing fee instead of the dental practice. This approach, often marketed as credit card processing for free, has gained traction among some payment providers, but understanding the full implications is essential for making an informed decision. Surcharging can have a strong impact on patient perceptions and financial outcomes, particularly in dental practices where higher average transaction amounts lead to more noticeable fees. This potentially pushes patients to seek care elsewhere and risking long term revenue from patients who may otherwise stay with a practice for years. In this webinar, we will discuss the rules, regulations, and the pros and cons of surcharging to help you make an informed decision.
