If you are starting a medical practice, you obviously will NEED to accept credit cards. Many consumers put their entire lives on credit cards, and will be slightly more willing to accept a co-pay if it is “on the card”.
Fees and expenses for accepting credit cards in a medical practices are hard to compare – sometimes the lowest percentage fees are combined with other fees that make the processor more expensive.
I can’t do the research for you, but I can tell what works for me. I’m on my third credit card processor, but I think I’m going to stick with PowerPay. I like their HIPAA compliance, and, most of all, I like their customer service.
By all means, do your own research. But take a look at PowerPay.
