Once your clients start doing business with you, ServiceChannel charges all providers a nominal usage fee for each pre-tax amount of approved invoice: one and a quarter percent (1.25%) per approved invoice with a maximum of $3.00 per approved invoice.
These small fees help us bring you Provider Automation, our mobile application, and various benefits and services. Please see ServiceChannel Usage Fees for more information.
