Vital Statistic: Total healthcare expenditures in the U.S. in 2003 were $1.6 trillion; approximately $227 billion of these outlays were in out-of-pocket payments.

Choosing between one's physical well-being and financial well-being does not have to be a trade-off. Now there are debit and credit card payment solutions that are fast becoming the easy way to pay for healthcare, for patients and providers alike. (Excerpt. Click to download full article)

American Express has now made it more profitable for you to accept the American Express® Card by lowering its discount rate to be competitive with other bank cards.*
By accepting the Card, you are offering your patients another payment option at no extra cost to your office. More payment options increase the likelihood of immediate payment and can reduce your administrative and billing costs. Elective dental procedures are on the rise and patients are paying more of their own dental expenses. When you accept the Card, patients may take this opportunity to pay outstanding bills and to schedule additional treatments or cosmetic procedures.

Additional benefits include:

Easy set up
Prompt and guaranteed payment
24-hour online access to payment status
Patients can authorize automatic billing to their Card, reducing their paperwork — and yours

In your profession, there are many complicated decisions.
This one is easy.
