Kareo Patient Payments gives practices the ability to click and swipe to post a payment and make a transaction immediately.
Stripe is a third-party vendor for secure business commerce that allows you to accept and process credit card payments over the Internet. In order for you to collect electronic payments using our Patient Payments feature, you must have a Stripe account.
Benefits include:
- Balance reminders display on the Dashboard at patient check-in.
- Securely take credit card payments and process directly through Kareo.
- Emails a receipt to the patient.
- Automatically deposits the payment into your practice's bank account.
Important Notes:
- If you have multiple practices, completely log out of all other practice's Kareo sessions and Stripe dashboards (if applicable) before setting up the additional Stripe account.
- If the Patient Portal has not yet been activated, the practice will not have the ability to send patient statements via email to allow patients to access their statements and securely make payments online.
