PaySec + AsproDental: Zero Processing Fees for Dental Practice Management
How dental practices using AsproDental are eliminating credit card processing fees with PaySec's Network Offset Pricing.
Running a dental practice means balancing clinical excellence with financial sustainability. Between supplies, lab fees, staffing, and insurance reimbursement delays, margins are tight. One cost that often goes unnoticed is the 2-3% credit card processing fee deducted from every patient payment that crosses your front desk. For a practice collecting $50,000 or more per month in patient payments, that fee quietly drains $15,000 or more per year from your bottom line.
AsproDental provides dental practice management software with scheduling, charting, billing, and patient communication tools. It handles the operational side of your practice efficiently. But when patients tap their credit card at checkout, the processor takes its cut before you see a dime. PaySec's integration with AsproDental eliminates that cut entirely through Network Offset Pricing.
What Is the PaySec + AsproDental Integration?
PaySec connects directly with AsproDental's patient billing and checkout workflow. When a patient is ready to pay at your front desk, the PaySec terminal receives the transaction amount from AsproDental and presents dual pricing: one price for cash, check, or ACH payment and a slightly higher price for credit card payment. The patient chooses their preferred method, the payment processes, and it posts back to the patient's account in AsproDental automatically.
This is Network Offset Pricing (NOP) — a fully legal, card-network-compliant approach to payment processing that is permitted in all 50 states. The practice collects the full amount regardless of which payment method the patient selects. There is no surcharge added after the fact; both prices are clearly displayed before the patient decides.
The Real Cost of Processing Fees for Dental Practices
Dental practices process a wide range of transaction values — from $30 copays to $5,000+ implant cases. Every one of those transactions loses 2-3% to credit card fees under traditional processing.
| Monthly Collections | Annual Processing Fees (at 2.5%) | With PaySec | Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| $30,000 | $9,000 | $0 | $9,000 |
| $60,000 | $18,000 | $0 | $18,000 |
| $100,000 | $30,000 | $0 | $30,000 |
For a solo dentist collecting $40,000 per month, that is $12,000 per year going to your payment processor instead of into your practice. For a group practice or multi-location operation, the numbers grow rapidly.
How Network Offset Pricing Works at Checkout
When a patient finishes their appointment and walks to the front desk, the staff member pulls up the balance in AsproDental and initiates payment. The PaySec terminal displays both options clearly:
| Treatment | Cash/Check Price | Card Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning (copay) | $30.00 | $31.20 |
| Filling | $250.00 | $260.00 |
| Crown | $1,100.00 | $1,144.00 |
| Ortho monthly payment | $175.00 | $182.00 |
The patient sees both prices and selects how they want to pay. Most patients either pay with a debit card (which processes at the lower price) or choose the cash/check option. Either way, the practice receives the full amount with zero processing fees deducted.
Integration Features
Payment Sync: Every transaction processed through PaySec posts directly to the patient's account in AsproDental, keeping your billing records accurate without double-entry.
Online Patient Payments: For patients who receive statements and want to pay from home, PaySec provides an online payment portal with the same dual pricing. Patients paying outstanding balances see both options and choose — reducing your AR while costing you nothing in processing fees.
Care Plan and Ortho Payments: Monthly orthodontic payments and treatment plan installments process through PaySec at zero cost. Over a two-year ortho case with $200/month payments, that saves roughly $120 in processing fees per patient.
PCI Level 1 Compliance: PaySec handles all card data through its PCI Level 1 certified infrastructure. Your practice never stores or transmits sensitive card information, reducing your compliance burden.
No Contracts, No Minimums: PaySec does not require long-term contracts or minimum processing volumes. You can scale up or down as your practice needs change.
Who Is This For?
The PaySec + AsproDental integration is ideal for any dental practice that wants to stop hemorrhaging revenue to credit card processors. Solo practitioners save thousands per year. Group practices and multi-location operations save tens of thousands. Practices with high case acceptance on elective procedures like implants, veneers, and orthodontics benefit the most because those high-value transactions generate the largest processing fees.
If your practice collects patient payments — copays, deductibles, elective treatment, cosmetic procedures, or product sales — every dollar of that volume currently costs you 2-3% in processing fees. PaySec eliminates that cost.
Getting Started
- Sign up for a PaySec dental merchant account — approval typically takes 3-5 business days
- Receive and deploy your NOP terminal — a countertop device placed at your front desk checkout area
- Connect the payment flow to AsproDental — PaySec's team configures the integration with your existing billing workflow
- Brief your front desk staff — a 10-minute walkthrough covers everything they need to know
- Start collecting at zero cost — your first patient payment processes with no fees deducted
The entire setup process from application to go-live typically takes under two weeks. There is no disruption to your daily operations, and your front desk workflow stays essentially the same — the only difference is that the terminal now shows two prices instead of one.
