Co-pays and eyewear add up

Frames, lenses, and the out-of-pocket part of an exam are mid-to-big sales that run on cards all day. A padded rate on that volume quietly costs a practice real money over a year. On the debit side, Interac should be priced low, not at credit rates, so make sure that is set up right. We keep your setup transparent and built around how the front desk actually works.

Your real rate: the equation and the gap Total fees divided by total card volume gives the effective rate, shown as $1,500 divided by $50,000 equals 3.0 percent, with two bars underneath where the effective rate stands taller than the rate you were quoted and the difference is bracketed as downgrades and junk fees. YOUR REAL RATE Total fees divided by total card volume. Two numbers from your statement, one honest answer. TOTAL FEES $1,500 everything you paid last month ÷ CARD VOLUME $50,000 everything you ran on cards = EFFECTIVE RATE 3.0% your real rate what you actually pay on every dollar, once every fee is counted the headline number The rate you were quoted QUOTED RATE DOWNGRADES + JUNK FEES 3.0% Your effective rate THE GAP Downgrades and junk fees The quoted rate only applied to some of your transactions. The rest, plus the monthly fees, is the gap. The advertised rate is what they want you to look at. The effective rate is what you actually pay.

What other practices say

Common questions

Will it work with my practice management system?
Most optical practice management systems are open and let you choose your processor or use a standalone terminal alongside them. Tell us what you run and we’ll confirm what we can do.
Does it matter for the out-of-pocket eyewear side?
Yes. Eyewear sales are mid-sized and the out-of-pocket portion runs on cards, so a clean rate keeps real money in the practice over a month. On premium eyewear, financing can also help patients say yes. See financing.
