Frequently Asked Questions

How do PT practices handle multiple weekly visits?

Store card on file, charge co-pay at each visit. Many practices offer cash-pay packages for uninsured (buy 10 visits, save 10%). Square handles both one-time and package billing well.

What about PT software integration?

Most PT-specific software (WebPT, TheraOffice) handles billing separately from payment collection. Use Square or Clover at front desk for actual payment, record in PT software manually or via integration if available.
