Nate, you sound like me on my rant on the same thing. As I tell Alice, I'm not even an MD and I"m offended. I guess managing all of the financials and anything else not related to diagnosing the patient has made me biased.
We'll start collecting credit cards in a week or so.
Now, where do you keep the info? Nice Question.
Honestly, you should not keep it in-house. It should really be kept in a PCI-compliant manner. Updox does offer this as a 2nd tier feature. There is not a "safe" spot in AC or in most programs to do this. You can store it in Quickbooks, but its not "safe."
