Collect payments without the “transactional” feel.

<p>Yes. Helcim is both HIPAA and PCI compliant, providing a secure environment for owner-practitioners to process patient payments without the burden of extra compliance costs. Unlike other processors, we do not charge monthly fees just to maintain your HIPAA-compliant or PCI-compliant status.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Helcim is designed to handle the "unique tension" of mental health billing by offering flexible options to collect payments. You can use the Virtual Terminal to discreetly process a card on file when a patient arrives or immediately following a session, or send an automated Payment Link afterward so patients can pay on their own time without an awkward face-to-face money conversation.</p>

<p>Absolutely. Helcim centralizes your workflow by allowing you to store cards on file and automate follow-up reminders. This eliminates the need for manual tracking or recreating invoices when patients forget to pay.</p>

<p>Yes. Helcim integrates with SimplePractice and other popular PMS tools to ensure your clinical and financial workflows stay connected. This reduces the administrative burden of jumping between systems and helps you maintain a clear view of your revenue without hiring additional staff.</p>

<p>Many clinics save an average of 25% on processing fees by moving away from flat-rate providers. With Helcim’s interchange-plus model, you pay the direct bank cost plus a small, transparent margin, which can result in savings of over $15,000 per year for high-volume practices.</p>

<p>We usually need between 5 to 10 business days, but in some instances it can take up to 30 days to be completed. But, since Helcim has no monthly or sign up fees you can make the switch before canceling your current provider so there are no interruptions to your service.</p>
