Complete the Patient Pay Application

Tebra Payment Processing provides the infrastructure necessary to accept and process electronic payments via a credit card. This allows practices to collect payments electronically from their patients when they have an outstanding balance due. In order to collect electronic payments using our Patient Collect feature, you must complete the Patient Pay application and be approved through Tebra Payment Processing.  

To complete the application, have the following information ready:

  • EIN/TIN (for businesses) or SSN/ITIN (for individual owners)
  • Financial Information: Average transaction amount, highest expected transaction amount, and average monthly sales amount
  • Bank Routing Number and Account Number (for the bank the moneys should be deposited into)
  • Primary Owner SSN
  • Additional Owner SSN (if applicable)

Important Note: There are specific categories such as online pharmacies, prescription-only products including card-not-present pharmaceuticals, cannabis related practices/consultations, and products and services with varying legal status on a state-by-state basis that may be restricted. For further questions, contact Customer Care.

When ready, follow the steps to complete each section of the Patient Pay Application.
