VGPM 1.69 continues our mission to Protect Your Purpose—by strengthening your cash flow, reducing admin friction, and supporting your clinical team in the field.
This release introduces integrated Stripe payments through the patient portal, improved goal visibility for RBTs, flexible NPI handling for therapists, and important bug fixes.
Accept Client Payments Online with Stripe (Patient Portal Integration)
Practices can now accept client payments directly through the VGPM patient portal using Stripe.
No more collecting paper checks or manually reconciling payments. Families can securely pay invoices online, and your team gains a cleaner, faster revenue workflow.
There are no additional VGPM fees to use this feature, and we do not take a percentage of payments. The only fees are whatever Stripe charges for processing.
What’s Included
- Secure invoice payments inside the patient portal
- Simple setup—just enter your Stripe API key in settings
- Automatic payment tracking within VGPM
- Reduced manual reconciliation and front-desk workload
- No additional VGPM fees (Stripe processing fees apply)

Why This Matters for Independent Practices
Cash flow is clinical stability. When invoices are easy to pay, they get paid faster. This update supports the Predictable Growth Pricing and revenue protection philosophy behind VGPM—business health protects clinical care.
RBT Goal Visibility in Program Book and In-Session
RBTs can now view client goal details directly from the program book and during sessions.
This reduces context switching, improves clarity in-session, and helps frontline staff stay aligned with treatment objectives.
Benefits
- Faster access to goal details
- Better alignment between clinical planning and execution
- Reduced confusion during sessions
- Improved documentation accuracy
For the "RBT on the Edge," this means fewer taps, less friction, and more focus on the learner.
Flexible NPI Requirement for Therapists
Therapists are no longer required to have an NPI entered at the time of profile creation.
If a therapist does not yet have an NPI, the field can be left blank. Any claims associated with that therapist will automatically be held until an NPI is added.
Why This Matters
- Onboard new hires faster
- Prevent premature claim submission errors
- Maintain billing compliance without blocking workflow
This protects your revenue cycle while keeping operations moving.
Additional Bug Fixes
VGPM 1.69 also includes performance improvements and minor bug fixes to enhance platform stability and reliability.
How to Enable Stripe Payments
