Payment Gateways – A Look Back

When payment gateways were first developed, they were basically a virtual terminal that only accepted payments. As businesses needed more functionality from their virtual terminals, developers expanded the capabilities and features offered.

This flexibility means payment gateways can now easily support many different industries, from mail order businesses to call centers and membership-based businesses, such as a gym or yoga studio. By having so many functions available in one place, businesses like your practice don’t have to piecemeal different software together and hope it integrates properly. 

NCMIC’s Gateway

At NCMIC, we understand the unique needs of DCs. To best serve our doctors, we offer a payment gateway that includes as many helpful functions as possible in an easy-to-use way. You’ll find the following features in NCMIC’s payment gateway:

• Electronic invoice generator – Produce invoices and email them to your patients. You can tie the notices to your inventory system to subtract any items you are billing for from your inventory.
• Inventory control – Automatically remove items from your practice inventory as they are sold. Tie inventory records to patient invoices and subtract inventory as you are billing for it.
• Reporting – Access various reports from the premade options available. Or, use the custom report wizard to create your own report. You can also schedule reports. For example, if you need a weekly summary of all transactions, it can be emailed to you automatically.

NCMIC Gives You More

Many payment gateways include similar features. At NCMIC, we worked hard to give our doctors even more.

No Transaction Fees

It’s common for many payment gateways to charge transaction fees. Some charge five cents per transaction, including each time you settle a batch. With NCMIC’s payment gateway, you may qualify for one flat rate with unlimited use.

Unlimited Users

NCMIC’s gateway allows you to have as many users in your practice as you’d like at no additional cost. Even if you have a large practice with several employees, there is no extra charge.

You determine the level of access each employee has from Administrator to Supervisor to Clerk. For example, if your accountant only needs to see certain reports, you can set those parameters. If you have a website developer who needs temporary access, you can delete the user profile or suspend it when they are done.

You can also see when each employee logged in to the gateway, which helps mitigate the risk of fraud and theft from within your practice. This level of control isn’t available with many other payment gateways.
