Red Flags
What reception must never send — and must escalate
- Only clinic-approved payment URLs / QR packs from a named owner
- Reject “send to this new account tonight” pressure from patients or staff
- Never reuse screenshots of QR codes from unknown chats
- Escalate spoofed brand domains and urgent “account suspended” pay links
- Stop-rules: no personal bank accounts; no third-party “promo wallet” links; no clinical freestyle tied to payment
