There are several advantages to offering payment options with monthly auto-debits rather than just a prepay discount:
- Providing a seamless payment experience for patients
- Making it easier for patients to afford regular payments
- Reducing pressure on patients to make a single large payment
- Increasing the likelihood of long-term patient retention
- Avoiding potential refund issues with prepayments
- Creating stable monthly revenue streams
- Encouraging patients to commit to ongoing care
- Establishing a familiar payment schedule for patients and practitioners
- Aligning payment structures with the concept of ongoing memberships rather than one-time transactions
