Health iPASS Payment Processing Transparent Pricing Guarantee

Health iPASS guarantees full transparency in our pricing model, from credit card processing costs to the way we collect our fees.

Health iPASS guarantees clearly defined, transparent pricing, with no hidden fees or junk charges, so you understand every fee clearly, ensuring you pay only the exact costs set by credit card networks plus our defined markup, with no hidden charges, offering flexibility, compliance, and cost savings that adapt to your business needs, empowering you to take control of your credit card processing fees.

The Power of Transparent Pricing for Healthcare Providers

Understand Your Fees

With Heath iPASS’s Transparent Pricing model, you pay the exact fees set by credit card networks (e.g., Visa, Mastercard) plus our clearly defined processing markup. This full transparency ensures you know exactly where your organization’s money is going.

Avoid Flat Rate Program Hidden Costs & Mysterious Charges

Unlike flat-rate and tiered pricing models where transactions are bundled into arbitrary categories, Health iPASS Transparent Pricing shows you every transaction’s true cost, with exact breakdowns on your statement.

Price Transparency Lowers Costs for Most Businesses

Flat-Rate models charge the same fee regardless of the transaction type. For healthcare providers with many debit or low-risk transactions, this often results in paying more money than necessary.

Get Rewarded for Good Business Practices

Health iPASS’s Transparent Pricing benefits you directly if interchange rates drop (which happens twice a year), as revenue is tied only to the agreed-upon markup. Providers can also benefit from lower card network fees if you process low-risk transactions. If your customers use rewards cards less frequently or pay with debit cards, you’ll see the cost savings directly. Speak with one of our sales associates to learn more about Health iPASS pricing.

Health iPASS is proud to be one of the only patient engagement solution providers to bring our Transparent Pricing on credit card acceptance to every size healthcare provider, big or small.

Understanding Payment Processing Pricing Models:
What’s Best for Your Practice?

In the complex world of credit card processing, not all pricing models are created equal. As a healthcare provider, choosing the right one can save you thousands each year. Let’s break it down:

Most Patient Engagement Solutions

Least Transparent. Often most expensive.
Flat Rate Pricing
Simple, but you lose cost savings.
Tiered Pricing
Most Transparent. Most cost-effective.
Interchange Pass-through Pricing

How it works:

A single percentage fee for every transaction, regardless of card type or method.

Processors bundle transactions into 3–6 “tiers” (e.g., qualified, mid-qualified, non-qualified).

You pay the true cost (interchange + card network fees) plus a small fixed markup.

What you pay:

Easy to understand (e.g., 2.75%) — but oversimplified.

A set rate depending on the tier, often not transparent.

Transparent and itemized costs — you see exactly where your money goes.

The catch:

You pay the same for high rate on low-cost debit cards as you do for expensive reward credit cards.

You rarely know how your transactions are categorized — and processors often assign many to the most expensive tier.

You benefit from lower-cost transactions, like debit and HSA/FSA cards, which are common in healthcare.
