Senior Member Janna Posted January 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't think it's normal. Any reputable clinic should give you the options to pay by check, credit card, or cash. The procedures are expensive enough for the patients that the business should be able to absorb the cost they incur from credit card companies to process the transactions. Dealing in cash only tells me that they only do a minimum number of cases a month or other reasons that we can speculate about. How good and reputable is this clinic? Hope you're able to speak to past patients and possibly see them in person before you put down the deposit.

Senior Member nativeremdies Posted February 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2013 The deposit seems cheap, and paying in cash is shady. It raises my eyebrow anytime someone says pay in cash. You already got a couple of red flags, and you should move on and find someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CAMPBELL Posted January 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2014 Longevity have said to me that they will take debit\credit card but will charge 4% of the total , so on ?2000 that's ?80 extra to pay by card. A bit off putting isn't it when paying a few thousand, then paying for travel there. Then paying to get to the clinic from your hotel. All adds up. But I would never pay ' in cash.'

Senior Member GreatPelo Posted January 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2014 It's called not having to pay Tax on the balance, since they're already reduced profits by offering a better price. Good for the patient, bad for the Tax Collector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
