Practices like yours save this much a year.1

Kept by dental practices on our system to date.
Visa and Mastercard compliant surcharge program.
"For decades, our practice utilized the services of a very well respected credit card processing company. 98% of patients don't bat an eye. We were once hesitant to make this switch and the only regret was not doing it sooner."
"It saves me over $1,000 per month. I personally have elected to use the money I save each month by giving my staff increases in their hourly wage."
The front desk
Nobody at your front desk touches the fee.
This is the question practices ask more than any other. Here is the whole flow, start to finish.
- 1. The terminal shows the fee. It appears on its own line, before the patient pays. Nobody adds it and nobody announces it.
- 2. Debit cards drop it automatically. The terminal reads the card type itself. Card brand rules prohibit surcharging debit, so it never applies. Your team makes no decision.
- 3. The patient picks the receipt. Text, email, or print. Your staff tells us this is the part patients notice.
The fee is on the screen before the patient taps.
A $100.00 treatment. A $3.00 fee on its own line. $103.00 total, visible to the patient, with nothing for the front desk to say or do.
The P12 arrives configured. Setup is remote nationwide, with in-person setup where available.
Debit cards are never surcharged. Card brand rules prohibit it, so it is not a decision anyone has to make.
What your team never does: add a fee to a transaction, work out which cards qualify, calculate an amount, memorize a policy to explain, remove the fee for a debit card, or reconcile the fee at close-out.
Your Switch Kit
Everything you need to switch. Nothing out of pocket.
| P12 payment terminal | No charge. Remains Summit property. |
|---|---|
| We walk you through the cancellation | Included |
| Onboarding and staff training | Quoted per practice. |
| Equipment | No equipment cost. |
Setup is remote nationwide, with in-person setup where available. The P12 ships with setup instructions, your team powers it on and connects it to the practice network, and we run a scheduled 1:1 onboarding and training session with you.
No contract. Sixty days to change your mind. There is no contract and no early termination fee. If the practice is not happy after sixty days, we take the equipment back and you owe nothing. The only thing you spend to find out is fifteen minutes at your front desk.
Every month you wait
What the fee costs while you decide.
Illustrative processing cost, about 3% of monthly volume. This is not what Summit recovers. Your debit mix stays a practice cost. The checkup uses your statement.
absorbed per month at $50K a month in volume.
absorbed per month at $100K a month in volume.
absorbed per month at $150K a month in volume.
Every month those credit card fees stay with the practice, the patient could have paid them instead.

Side by side
Your statement. A Summit statement.
15 minutes. We remove the names. You see the math. This is one real practice, one month.
| Measure | Current processor | Same practice on Summit |
|---|---|---|
| Card volume | $103,880.70 submitted | $99,008.14 base sales |
| Fees | $2,492.10 charged | $2,030.42 collected from patients, $825 in debit processing |
| Absorbed by the practice | $2,492.10 | $825 |
On the checkup, we do this exercise with your statement.
Nine numbers
You check nine numbers every week.
Most owners watch the same short list. Here is the one that is usually missing from it.
- Net production
- New patients
- Production per dentist per day
- Return rate for cleanings
- Gum treatment uptake
- Case acceptance
- Missed calls
- Receivables past 30 days
- Days to collections
- What you pay to accept a card. Most practices: unknown.
Eight of those numbers come out of your practice management software. One comes from your phones. None of them comes from your processor, which is why the card cost is the one with no line on the dashboard. It is also the one you check once, fix once, and stop watching.
Pick a time. 15 minutes.
We review your statement and show you the exact savings.
