Is the auto pay credit card payment mandatory?
The hospital facility provides the recertification payments for the staff since they receive the certification and teach family education through the hospital. 
I spoke to our manager who explained Ascension St. Vincent's is a Spinning Babies vendor.
The hospital is not comfortable providing a yearly autopay payment to be automatically charged. Please let us know how to proceed.


Answer:

It is lovely that your hospital is supporting you! Yes, autopay via credit card is mandatory. Our current system and capacity do not allow us to set up an alternative payment method. For further clarification, the Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator certification is per individual. The annual fee must be paid with credit card, and the license of the Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator is held by the individual and not the hospital. This leaves it up to you to have the hospital reimburse you.
