What the Patient Sees When Booking the Appointment Online
When the patient selects an appointment type to schedule online, myAppointmentNOW checks the following.
- Does the Appointment Type require a Credit Card?
- If No, schedule appointment normally.
- If Yes, does the patient have a card stored in SecurePayNOW?
- If No, the patient is prompted to enter their card information.
- If Yes, the patient is asked whether they wish to use the card on file or enter a new one.
