Running a hearing and speech healthcare practice is about so much more than appointments and paperwork—it’s about people. But behind every successful audiology clinic or speech therapy office is a business that must stay financially healthy to continue serving its patients with excellence and compassion.
One area where many providers unknowingly lose thousands each year? Credit card processing costs. These fees quietly stack up month after month, cutting into your ability to invest in new technology, expand your services, or simply keep the lights on.
That’s where surcharging comes in—not as a burden on your practice or your patients, but as a smart, compliant way to keep more of what you earn.

What Surcharging Really Means for Your Practice
Surcharging is a compliant method that allows practices to recover a portion of the costs associated with accepting credit card payments. It applies only to credit card transactions (not debit) and, when implemented properly, follows all guidelines set by card brands and regulatory bodies. This approach helps practices manage rising processing expenses while maintaining financial stability.
At Gravity Payments, we make sure surcharging is done the right way—compliantly, transparently, and with your patients’ experience in mind.
