Doctors:
Put this on your practice to-do list if you haven't already:
Get new credit card processing
equipment and software to accept new microchip credit cards
Chief
Governmental and Community Relations Officer
With banks
everywhere now switching to microchip-based credit cards as a way to
reduce fraud, it's time to think about updating your current credit
card processing equipment in your offices. Setting up a chip card
terminal now can protect your practice from possible financial
liability later. But beware, there are some scams out there, as TMA
has learned. Your best source of information for converting to the
new technology will be the payment processing service you are using
currently.
To
access additional information from TMA, including an article from
Modern Healthcare on this subject, click

For
local discussion on this and other practice management topics,
consider joining the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics Committee by
contacting Mary Nava.
