NexHealth partners with Stripe to offer seamless payment processing for your patients. You can send payment requests directly to patients, post a link to a secure payment portal on your website, collect credit card information via forms, over the phone, or in person, and charge a card that is on file.
Each transaction incurs a 2.9% + $.30 processing fee, which will be deducted at the time of the transaction. Payments are then batch deposited into the bank account you designate at registration, typically every 2 - 5 days.

Patient online payment experience
There are two ways for patients to pay online:
Payment requests
Send a Payment Request from the Payments tab in NexHealth. This sends the patient a text and an email with a link to make the payment online.
1. When the patient clicks on the link they are prompted to enter their last name and birth date.
Email message
SMS message
2. When the patient clicks the link (SMS) or the Pay online button (email) both display a modal for the patient to verify their last name and birthdate.
3. Once the information is verified, the patient sees any outstanding payment requests as invoices and can submit their credit card information.
Email invoice
SMS invoice
Online payment link
The second way for a patient to pay does not require a payment request.
The patient clicks on the Payment widget on the office's website or in a communication. (The widget can be found in Settings --> Payment configurations).
The patient is prompted to enter Last name, Phone number, and Birthdate.
3. A 6-digit code is sent to the phone number provided by the patient above.
4. The patient enters the code, and the Make a payment modal opens.
5. The patient enters the appointment details and is prompted to enter Payment details.
