Lower processing fees for ambulatory surgical centers
Patient responsibility payments are growing. High-deductible plans mean more card transactions at checkout, and every basis point of processing cost shows up on your P and L. Most ASCs we review are paying well above wholesale rates and have never seen a side-by-side comparison.

Why surgical centers overpay
Most ASCs signed their processing agreement when the center opened and have not revisited it since. Meanwhile, patient card volume has increased as out-of-pocket costs rise. The original rate was set for lower volume and a different card mix. Interchange categories, assessment fees, and processor markup have all shifted.
A wholesale-style program prices processing closer to interchange and network costs, with margin disclosed in a way you can audit line by line. Same card networks, same settlement flow, lower total cost.
