In order to simplify the payment process, I ask that you keep a credit or debit card on file with me via IvyPay, a card processing service. The Terms of Use for using Ivy Pay can be found here: https://www.talktoivy.com/ivy-pay-payor-terms-of-use
Benefits of IvyPay:
You can be charged 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 IvyPay, not in my files or other records; I do not have access to your stored credit/debit card information
You would be able to review past charges and payments in a text message thread
How IvyPay Works:
You provide a phone number, which I enter into the IvyPay app along with a charge for the session fee
IvyPay texts you a secure link leading to a page where you enter your credit card information and approve the first charge
For future sessions, I will use IvyPay to charge the stored card; the app sends you a text message informing you of the charge
You will only be asked to enter your credit card information once (unless you wish to change the card), and you do not need to download an app or regularly interact with IvyPay.
