Should Your Practice Consider Surcharging?
As a dental professional, you’ re always looking for ways to streamline operations and maximize profitability. One option gaining attention is surcharging— shifting the cost of credit card processing fees to patients. Marketed by some payment providers as“ credit card processing for free,” surcharging might sound appealing, but the reality deserves closer examination.
Before deciding, it’ s important to weigh the potential impacts on your practice. While surcharging can reduce operational costs, it may also affect patient satisfaction and trust. Patients who encounter unexpected fees during checkout may feel frustrated, potentially damaging your reputation and long-term relationships.
At Best Card, we’ re committed to transparency and helping dental practices make informed financial decisions. If you’ re curious about surcharging, our experts can walk you through the pros and cons and make sure that you are set up to do it in a way that is compliant with laws and regulations, with tailored insights for your practice. We also provide alternatives that keep both your budget and your patients happy.
As a payments provider initially created by a dental association to help members, we’ ve been a trusted partner for dental practices nationwide, offering straightforward, competitive credit card processing solutions with no hidden fees. Our average client saves $ 6,671 or 28 % annually— without relying on surcharging.
Want to know more? Call Best Card at 877-739-3952 today and let us help you determine whether surcharging is the right fit for your practice— or if there’ s a better way to boost your bottom line while keeping your patients smiling.
