Why the New Clover POS is Great for Dental Practices

26th November 2019

Approximately one-third to one-quarter of Americans do not have dental insurance. This means that you may have to handle a transaction for 25% to 33% of the patients seen in your dentist office rather than billing the insurance company. Your dental practice already strives to make treatment as painless for patients as possible. With a dental POS system, the payment process can also be less painful for you and the patients alike.

The original Clover POS station offered both you and your patients some significant advantages. However, it also had some drawbacks. Fortunately, the new Clover station 2018 keeps what was good about its predecessor while improving on some of the ways in which it was lacking. The result is a POS system that offers even more advantages to your dental practice.

EMV Compatibility

About four years ago, card issuers in this country started replacing traditional credit and debit cards containing the magnetic strip with EMV cards equipped with a computer chip. The new cards offer more security to cardholders and have the potential to significantly decrease the incidence of fraud.

The old Clover POS system did not have the ability to read EMV cards on its own. You needed an accessory, available at an extra expense, to add this capability to your Clover station. Fortunately, the Clover 2.0 point of sale system has EMV compatibility built right in. This is much more convenient for both you and patients.

However, EMV is not the only payment method with which the Clover 2.0 is compatible. You can also accept payments into your merchant account via e-check, NFC phone, and Apple Watch. Traditional swipe cards will still work too.

Security

The information found in patients’ dental records is protected health information. This means that if the data were to be compromised because of a breach, you could face serious consequences. Fortunately, the new Clover station comes equipped with POS software that earns 13 points for security in GetApp’s ranking, making it the category leader.

Multitasking

Loaded with the applications you use most often, the Clover 2.0 gives you the capability to perform multiple functions at a single station. Examples of the tasks you can perform with the Clover 2.0 include the following:

This helps to keep your countertop decluttered and professional-looking. With four USB ports to accommodate your POS accessories, it is easy to customize as well.

Eco-Friendliness

The interactive touch screen allows patients to review and sign documents right from the display. This cuts down on the amount of paperwork that needs to be produced. Not only is it convenient for the customers, but it also helps you to save paper and reduce waste. Needless to say, this is much better for the environment.

Other Features

The Clover 2.0 is set apart from its predecessor by some of its other important features. Both you and patients will appreciate the fact that payment processing is faster than ever before. You will also both benefit from the larger display screen. Patients will appreciate the easy-to-read printer display that is customer-facing.

These are only a few of the desirable features of the Clover 2.0. You can find out more details from the manufacturer or online. Purchasing information is available as well.
