Credit Card Plus (CCP) supports point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and the EMV chip card for credit card transactions with the Ingenico Lane/3000 credit card terminal. P2PE and EMV are important security improvements that reduce the risk of credit card data leaks and fraud.
Note: Because of the enhanced security of the Ingenico device, you no longer need to re-enter your athenaOne password when you collect payments using the Ingenico device.
To learn more about the credit card security improvements made by athenahealth and the impact on your practice, please read the detailed FAQ.
Since October 2015, major credit card brands require that EMV cards in "card present" point-of-service situations be read via the chip instead of the magnetic stripe. Practices that do not have EMV-enabled terminals can still process credit cards with traditional magnetic stripes using the older MagTek and RDM machines. However, if a fraudulent transaction is processed with these older machines when a patient uses a chip card, your practice may be liable for the amount of the fraud.
The Ingenico Lane/3000 credit card terminal accepts the following payment methods:
- EMV (chip) credit cards
- Magnetic stripe credit cards
- Near-field communication (NFC) capable credit cards
- Contactless payment methods (such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, and Google Wallet)
Note: If your organization purchased the Ingenico iPP320 credit card terminal, you can continue to use this device (Ingenico will continue to support the iPP320 device through December 31, 2030).
For information about purchasing the Ingenico Lane/3000 device, see the Lane/3000 Device Pricing and Order Instructions. You can find detailed installation instructions for Ingenico Lane/3000 terminals on the Success Community.
Depending on how your organization is billed for Credit Card Plus, you may be able to order Ingenico Lane/3000 devices on these athenaOne pages:
After you install the Ingenico device, you can continue to use RDM check scanners to scan checks, but the credit card swipe function is disabled. Also, you can leave the MagTek credit card swiper plugged in to your computer, but you can no longer use it.
Because the RDM device lacks EMV and P2PE support, we recommend using the following devices:
- Ingenico Lane/3000 for credit card transactions. This device includes the latest EMV and P2PE and security features.
- Burroughs SmartSource Micro Elite device for check and ID card scanning. The Burroughs device does not scan credit cards. No device currently exists that supports both EMV credit card capture and check scanning.
Note: The Burroughs device is not required. You can continue to use the RDM device for check payments.
For more information about the Burroughs check and ID card scanner device and how to order one, see the Burroughs Check Scanner Installation, Testing, Usage, and FAQ guide on the Success Community. To learn more about the credit card security improvements made by athenahealth, the impact on your practice, and how to order new credit card terminals, see the detailed FAQ.
