What if one of the biggest leaks in your pharmacy’s cash flow is hiding in plain sight?
Every time a patient swipes, taps, or enters a card, you’re paying a processing fee. But do you know exactly what you’re being charged and whether your pharmacy is set up to pay as little as possible?
In this session of Ahead of the Curve, Heather Haro sits down with Chris Flores, CEO of USA Payments, for a practical conversation about one of the most overlooked areas of pharmacy profitability: payment processing.
Chris breaks down why processing fees can quietly increase over time, what pharmacy owners should look for on their statements, and why the way you accept payments matters even more as pharmacies expand into delivery, phone orders, online payments, and other card-not-present transactions.
You’ll also hear about compliant approaches to managing processing costs, including surcharging, cash discounts, and dual pricing, along with why state-by-state requirements matter when implementing these strategies.
Most importantly, this isn’t about simply finding a lower rate.
It’s about making sure your payment setup is built around your pharmacy, your transaction mix, and where your business is going next.
