Patient Collect (Stripe): Process Virtual Card Payment

Updated: 02/11/2026|Views: 1188

Virtual cards are a payment method for insurance companies, health plans, and third-party payment vendors to issue payments to practices for patient services. For Patient Collect (Stripe) activated practices, use this feature to securely deposit virtual card payments into the bank account designated for your Stripe payouts.

For Tebra Payments activated customers, review Tebra Payments: Process Virtual Card Payment. To learn how to process virtual card payments in the Desktop Application (PM), review Process Virtual Card Payment.

Note: Processing a virtual card payment does not automatically create an unapplied insurance payment in the Desktop Application (PM). If applicable, record an insurance payment after successfully processing the virtual card payment.

Process Virtual Card Payment

  1. Hover over the Billing icon and click Virtual Card. The Virtual Card Payment page opens.
Web platform dashboard showing the Billing module menu drop-down with the Virtual Card option highlighted.
  1. Enter the Payment Amount and optional billing address Zip Code (listed on the virtual card statement for card processing).
  2. Enter the Card Number, Expiration Date (month/year), and CVC code.
  3. Click Process Transaction when finished. The Payment Receipt page opens.
    Note: The virtual card payment displays in the Stripe Dashboard under the Payments section of the Transactions and does not transfer to the Desktop Application (PM) as an unapplied insurance payment. If applicable, record an insurance payment after successfully processing the virtual card payment.
