Frequently Asked Questions

How do caregivers collect payments at patient homes?

Equip caregivers with mobile card readers (Square Reader). They can invoice on arrival or collect co-pays. Most agencies email invoices for recurring services and collect at scheduled visits.

Is Square/Clover HIPAA compliant for healthcare?

Payment processing itself doesn't require HIPAA compliance—you're processing payments, not storing PHI. Keep patient health info in your EMR system, not your POS. Payment records (name, amount) are fine.
