Transaction costs for electronic payments are comparable to bank EFTPOS terminal and transaction charges. Charges are as follows:
You can choose to pass these fees on to your patients, or to pay the fees yourself. If you are passing on the payment processing fee to your patient, they will see on their invoice the exact amount that is being charged to them. The fee is displayed in the Payments section on their invoice.
If you reach the Silver, Gold or Platinum payment bands, you can also subscribe for a custom name or dedicated number for your SMS reminders free of charge for as long as you remain in the Silver, Gold or Platinum bands.
It’s very simple - whenever a payment is processed via Halaxy, the dollar amount is added to the total value of invoices processed in the past 90 days, which is cumulative and refreshed every day.
This calculation considers the total amount of payments processed by your practice group, so all practitioners in your practice can contribute to the total amount processed.
The more payments you process in a 90-day period, the greater your chance to move to the next band and save even more.
Whenever you process Auto Payments in Halaxy, you can choose to pay the payment processing fee yourself, or you can pass part or the whole fee to the patient or organisation. Your choice of fee allocation can be set at every payment, but you can also configure a default allocation setting so you don’t have to set it every time.
Fee allocation settings can be configured for a practice group, location, or individual practitioner, giving you added flexibility and control over your payments.
