When you process an electronic payment, the default statement descriptor for the charge on your patients' bank statements is set to the name of your practice group. The statement descriptor can be changed any time and can be specified for your whole practice group, a location or an individual practitioner.
Note
In accordance with banking standards, statement descriptors have a limit of 22 characters.
