Process Virtual Card Payment

Updated: 03/02/2026|Views: 1186

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

To learn how to process virtual card payments in the web platform, review Tebra Payments: Process Virtual Card Payment or Patient Collect (Stripe): Process Virtual Card Payment.

Note: Processing virtual card payments do not automatically create unapplied insurance payments. If applicable, enter an insurance payment to manually apply payments to the appropriate service lines. To enter a payment and process a virtual card from that Payment record, review Enter New Payment and Process Virtual Card.
