Credit Card Processing with Ivy Pay
As a payment option for our sessions, you may keep a credit card on file with me via Ivy Pay, a credit card processing service. Their website is: https://www.talktoivy.com/ivypay
Ivy Pay has a few benefits:
I am able to charge you for sessions without swiping a card at each appointment
The service is secure and compliant with HIPAA standards for client confidentiality
Your credit card information is stored with Ivy Pay, not in my files or other records; I do not have access to your stored credit card information
You would be able to review past charges and payments in a text message thread
You would be able to download a “superbill” to submit to your insurance company for out of network benefits.
The service works simply:
You provide a phone number below, which I enter into an app along with a charge for the session fee
Ivy Pay texts you a secure link leading to a page where you enter your credit card information and approve the first charge
After future sessions, I use Ivy Pay to charge the stored card; the app sends you a text informing you that I’ve done so
You will only be asked to enter your credit card information once (unless you need or wish to change the card), and you do not need to download an app or regularly interact with Ivy Pay.
You will continue to have the option to pay via other methods if you’d rather not store a card with Ivy Pay, and can change or remove your credit card at any time.
