Credit Card Capture
A step by step guide for CC capture
Index
Workflow
Step 1: Collect & Verify Member Information
-
Ask:
“What is your ID number?”
“May I have your name and date of birth?” -
Check EFT History.
-
If the last payment says “Failed,” record the amount in your notes.
-
Step 2: Verify or Confirm Payment Status
If there was a missed payment:
-
Say:
“Okay, it looks like that missed payment was in the amount of $[amount]. Does that sound right to you?”
If there was no missed payment:
-
Say:
“It looks like your last payment on [date] was successful. Are you looking to change your card on file for future payments?”
Step 3: Check for Other Policies
-
Ask:
“Do you have a dental and vision policy, or any supplemental policy that may have missed a payment as well?”
-
Verify regardless of the member’s response.
Step 4: Capture Credit Card Information
-
Say:
“I’m ready for that card information when you have it.”
Step 5: Verify Credit Card Information
-
Say:
“I have that card as a ___ with the card number ending in ___ expiring on ___. Is that correct?”
Step 6: Advise of Processing Time
-
Say:
“It will take about 24–48 hours for that payment to be processed, and it looks like your next payment date is scheduled for [insert date].”
Step 7: Confirm Credit Card Saved
-
Say:
“Okay, I went ahead and updated the card on file, and that will be the card we use for future payments. Your next scheduled payment is for [insert date].”
