Streamline patient billing by securely capturing payment information without immediate charges. Our Billing Vault Form sends patients a private link to input their credit card details, enabling seamless future transactions and scheduled payments. A temporary $1 authorization confirms card validity but disappears within days, ensuring a hassle-free experience. This feature is limited to cards and does not support routing or account banking information.
This feature is only available for members with access to the Auto-Debit System®.
Getting started:
Step 1: From the top of the navigation menu → select the Generate Pay Now Link icon.
There are two ways to send the link:
Option 1: Generating a Pay Now Link to Send to a Patient With Your Cash Practice Account

New Patient Account: If this is a new patient and they have no patient record saved in Cash Practice® yet, select the [Add New Patient] button to the right. All that is required to create a new patient account is a first and last name.
