Private clinics, dentists, physios and therapists lose time to missed appointments and chasing unpaid bills. Many patients also like to spread the cost of longer treatment. A payments platform aimed at independent practices can take deposits, run monthly plans and send clear invoices.
What practice owners want
- Payment links for deposits when a patient books.
- Monthly subscriptions for membership plans or ongoing care.
- Invoices for treatments and insurers.
- A simple view of who has paid.
Reaching them
Practice owners meet through professional bodies, training events, suppliers and practice management software. Start with one type of practice in one area and use early results to win more.

Things to watch
Health data is sensitive, so collect only the payment details you need and keep medical notes out of payment records. Be clear with patients about what a plan covers and how to cancel. Membership plans are not loans, so don't describe them as credit.
