ACH Billing for Treatment Center Patients

ACH stands for Automated Clearing House. On a treatment center bill, an ACH payment generally means money is transferred electronically from a bank account rather than charged to a credit or debit card. Apt Financial supports ACH bank transfer processing for patient payments, including transparent transaction pricing, detailed monthly reporting, and next-day settlement options where available.

Chase Bill Pay is a banking service you use through a Chase account to send a payment to a biller. ACH is the electronic bank-transfer network used to move funds between accounts. A payment made through Chase Bill Pay may use an electronic transfer or another delivery method, while an ACH payment specifically refers to an electronic bank-to-bank transaction processed through the ACH network.

A patient provides payment information through the treatment center’s approved payment process. The payment is then submitted as an electronic bank transfer rather than a card transaction.
