"Watch out for insurance companies paying via credit card for their payment to your ASC, as this will process through your credit card payment system. You would then be paying the credit card processing fees, thus effectively reducing your amount of reimbursement. While we accept credit card payments from patients, insurance payments on credit cards would generate much larger fees. Watch for insurance companies putting language in your contracts to allow this form of payment."
