Check Recovery Solutions for Hospitals

Today credit/debit card discount rates coupled with transaction fees are running 6-8%. While credit card fees go up, the number of dishonored checks decline – currently less than 1% of all checks are returned. To make matters worse, when credit card fraud occurs there is little or no chance of recovering your monies. By encouraging your patients to pay by check rather than credit card, hospitals experience lower costs by eliminating credit/debit fees. And by coupling this with an effective check recovery program, you can be assured of even lower costs. Our CheckMate program includes:

  • Bank Authorization for quick reporting/processing of dishonored checks
  • Consolidated Check Returns to lower bank fees
