As an AAO member, you have exclusive access to two AAO Endorsed Partnerships that can help with merchant services for your practice.

Electronic payment processing provider OrthoPayment specializes in integration with practice software, while cost-reduction firm Merchant
Cost Consulting helps practices reduce credit card processing fees.

Although they operate within the same industry, each company’s business model meets different needs for AAO member practices. And as part
of the AAO’s endorsement agreement, OrthoPayment and Merchant Cost Consulting will each refer members to the other organization if the member’s needs are better served by the other firm’s services. So no matter who you contact, you’ll end up with the Endorsed
Partner who fits your needs.

Did you know that orthodontic malpractice risks can increase when patients decline recommended treatment, refuse referrals or fail to follow through with another provider?

A documented informed consent conversation can help patients understand what is at stake and help protect your practice when they choose not to proceed.
- Explain the diagnosis and why the referral or treatment is needed
- Confirm the patient’s understanding by asking and answering any questions they may have
- Document the discussion, including the risks of doing nothing
Follow up on referrals and record each step in the patient’s chart

See how informed declination, clear patient education and consistent follow-up can reduce risk of a successful malpractice verdict when patients refuse proposed treatment or referrals.
