Chiropractic care is built on recurring visits. A typical treatment plan involves 2–3 visits per week for the initial phase, then weekly or bi-weekly maintenance. Each visit generates a card payment — copays, cash-pay visits, supplement purchases, and wellness plan fees.
For a chiropractic office processing $20,000–$60,000/month in patient card payments, processing fees take **$6,000 to $25,200 annually** off the bottom line.
The Recurring Visit Multiplier
A single patient on a treatment plan might visit 40–60 times in a year. At $50/visit paid by card at 3%, that's $60–$90 in processing fees per patient per year. Across 200 active patients, that's $12,000–$18,000 in annual processing — just on visit copays.
Supplements and Wellness Products
Many chiropractic offices sell supplements, pillows, braces, and wellness products. These retail transactions carry the same processing rate — adding hundreds to thousands per year in additional fees.
Membership and Wellness Plans
Cash-pay and membership-based practices billing monthly wellness plans process recurring card charges. Each monthly charge carries processing fees.
