Do you think this would work in doctors offices?

Their thinking is like Jon Bertman true statement that other EMRs are unreasonably very expensive for doctors.

Dwolla say credit card companies are stealing money from merchants.

Just 25c transaction fees regardless of amount, unlike plastic cards fees from 1.75 to 3.5%.

Got to figure out how to make it work when patients want to use debit cards at checkout window or use their HSA account.

Ideas?

They will have to give you a credit card machine and a check machine terminal for your office.
You can then use patients credit card, checks etc.... at the check out window.
It will print out the day's transaction at the end of the day

Dwolla would be a tough sell.

Patients are just too comfortable with their credit and debit cards.

Actually the best payment method for me is cash ($0.00 + 0 % fee) or paper check ($0.20 plus 0% fee)
