The data terminal operates with a smart card (8) carried by each patient which holds the patients medical records. The card is presented to a reader (7) to allow inspection and alteration of the medical record. The same reader accepts the patient's bank card (9) and collects payment by communication over the telephone line, via a modem, with the patient's bank and with the practitioners bank. The payment information is temporarily displayed on a display unit (3) while the transaction is taking place over the telephone line (5).
