Encouraging patients to pay by bank account can help your practice save on processing fees. But when enrollment only offers a card option, getting patients onto ACH means another request, another step for the patient, and more follow-up for your team.

Now, patients can connect a checking or savings account while enrolling in your practice. They can choose ACH from the start, making lower-cost payments part of signing up rather than something to arrange afterward.

Make Lower-Cost Payments Easier From Day One

ACH payments cost less to process than credit and debit card payments. For recurring membership fees, those savings can add up month after month. Giving patients the option during enrollment makes it easier for your practice to benefit, with less work for everyone.

With the new bank account setup at enrollment, you can:

• Reduce processing costs. Make ACH an easy choice for new patients and save on payments that would otherwise go through a card.
• Cut down on follow-up. Patients connect their bank account securely through Stripe during enrollment, without needing a separate request from your team.
• Keep recurring billing simple. Once you approve the enrollment and bank verification is complete, Atlas.md can automatically charge the account on the patient’s selected billing day.

Patients get more choice in how they pay, and your practice gets an easier way to encourage ACH, reduce payment costs, and spend less time on setup.
