Forte Holdings, a provider of patient file management software, has formed a partnership with Affiliated Payment Software Integration Consultants, also known as APAYSIC.

According to APAYSIC, this partnership offers Forte customers the convenience of processing real-time transactions through their software, with little or no upfront costs. Using QuickPay, Forte customers boast PCI and HIPAA compliancy, avoiding heavy fines issued by VISA/MasterCard for using non-compliant equipment.

Dion Nugent, CEO of Forte Holdings, said: We are proud to be the first patient relation software company to introduce processing credit cards through a HIPAA compliant credit card terminal, with the ability to process PIN debit transactions via the keypad on the terminal, or through an external PIN pad device to a patient file management software. We now offer our clients guaranteed lower processing rates, free hardware, and integrated software. We want the best for our customers. This partnership with APAYSIC allows us to deliver on that goal.
