Is fertility clinic payment processing considered high risk?

Fertility clinics can be flagged as higher risk due to high average transaction values. Beacon has processor relationships experienced with fertility and reproductive medicine practices, ensuring stable accounts without unexpected reserves.

How do fertility clinics handle large upfront treatment payments?

Beacon supports large single-transaction processing typical of IVF and fertility treatment cycles, with no per-transaction caps that would block high-value payments. We also support payment plan billing for practices offering installment options.

What payment options should a fertility clinic offer patients?

Fertility clinics should accept all major credit cards, offer ACH for large balance payments to reduce processing fees on high-dollar transactions, and provide payment plan billing for patients financing treatment cycles over several months.

How much does payment processing cost for a fertility clinic?

Fertility clinics with high average transaction values benefit significantly from interchange-plus pricing. At $15,000 to $30,000 per IVF cycle, even a 0.5% rate reduction saves $75 to $150 per transaction. Beacon free rate audit quantifies your exact opportunity.

The Problem

You're Likely Overpaying on Processing.

Flat-rate processors leave money on the table. Here's what we hear from fertility & reproductive medicine practices every day.

High-Value IVF Cycles on Flat Rates

At $12K–$25K per cycle, flat-rate processors cost you a fortune. Interchange-plus saves thousands per procedure.

Multi-Cycle Package Billing

Patients buy "3-cycle packages" or "buy 2 get 1 free" deals. Your processor needs to handle package accounting and prorations.

Refund Risk on Unused Cycles

When a patient doesn't use all purchased cycles, you face refund disputes. You need a processor that gets the nuances.
