How to grow your payments app with osteopaths and chiropractors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Osteopaths and chiropractors usually work by appointment, and many patients come back for a course of treatments over weeks or months. Missed appointments cost them money, and some sell treatment packages paid up front. A payments app that takes a deposit when a patient books, a quick payment after each session and a single payment for a package can win these practices, and every patient who pays sees your app.
Talk to osteopaths and chiropractors
Ask local practices:
- How do patients pay you today?
- How often do patients miss appointments?
- Do you sell packages of treatments?
- Do you work from more than one clinic?
Take a deposit at booking
A small deposit by link when a patient books makes missed appointments less likely, and covers the practice when one happens.
Make packages easy to pay
A single payment link for a course of treatments lets patients pay once and simply turn up for each session.
Grow through other practitioners
Osteopaths and chiropractors often share clinics with physiotherapists, massage therapists and podiatrists. One practice on your app can introduce the others.
