How can a credit card surcharge program boost profits at your hair loss treatment center?It’s simple math, really. Because hair loss treatment is only covered by insurance if a medical condition has caused the hair loss, many of your clients pay out of pocket. Many clients will opt to use a credit card when paying for this treatment (which can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000).That means you must pay processing fees. And these fees can cost an average of 3.5% per transaction. That means paying anywhere from $140–$525 per client in processing fees. That’s ridiculous. And it’s undoubtedly hurting your business. But we have some excellent news.You can eliminate credit card processing fees at your hair loss treatment center. You just need to implement the right credit card surcharge program.
A credit card surcharge program works by adding a fee to customers’ bills each time they pay with credit. This covers the fees credit card companies charge each time a merchant processes a client’s credit card payment. Traditionally, your hair loss treatment center would’ve paid this transaction fee. With credit card surcharge fees, you can offset the impact of processing fees on your bottom line.But—you can also give your clients a choice: if they don’t want to pay with credit, they can pay with debit or cash instead. If they pay with cash, then it’s a win-win for everyone because there are no fees involved. And if they pay with debit, you have to pay a much lower fee (usually less than 1%).Credit card surcharge programs have been around for some time. If you want to set up a credit card surcharge program, you must follow specific rules (more on this later).
Think of all you’ve invested in having your hair renewal and transplant center.You’ve complete 10+ years of schooling and training. You obtained your bachelor’s degree and a four-year doctorate and slogged through residency. You also got certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Needless to say, you’ve invested a lot of time into your practice. You’ve also spent a great deal of money to start your hair restoration business. Besides graduating with an average of more than $200,000 in student debt, doctors can pay well more than $100,000 to open a medical practice. On top of that, hair-loss treatment centers require specific technologies and equipment. Hair restoration equipment and technology, such as restoration robotics and follicular unit extraction technology, can be quite expensive. And in addition to technology and equipment costs, you have ongoing expenses, including labor, rent, insurance, marketing, legal, and more. It all adds up, and you have a lot on the line. Considering your investment, you want to look after your finances carefully. That begins with making sure you aren’t throwing money out the window. And paying too much in credit card processing fees is letting money fly out the window. This is why you need a credit card surcharge program. It will make you more financially sustainable so that you can continue to care for your patients and provide them with the benefits of hair loss treatment.
It helps to put the impact of a credit card surcharge program into actual numbers. From nose job clinics to eye care centers, we’ve seen the financial benefits of offsetting credit card fees across all areas of the medical industry. Hair loss treatment centers can enjoy those same benefits. To get a closer look at the benefits of having a credit card surcharge program, let’s start with a realistic example. Let’s say:
After you calculate other fees, like the payment processor markup, average credit card fees can average over 3% and even reach 3.5%.
Now, your profits are $250,000. Per year, you pay $28,350 in credit card transaction fees. Imagine if you could implement a credit card surcharge program that gets rid of those processing fees. You’d make $28,350 more per year. That increases your profits from $250,000 to $278,350. That’s a salary increase of 11.3%! And all you had to do was change the way you accept payments. With that extra money on hand, think of what you could do. You could:
The point is this: That money should be in your wallet—not going to a credit card company.
