In the realm of healthcare services lies the telehealth merchant account – a unique payment processing solution crafted for businesses offering virtual medical care services like telemedicine providers and online therapy platforms to handle credit card transactions in line with healthcare regulations, with added security measures and tailored features catering to the distinct needs of the digital health sector.

Why Telehealth Businesses Need Specialized Merchant Accounts

  • Healthcare-Specific Payment Methods: Telehealth providers need to accommodate specialized payment options such as Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).
  • Insurance Integration: Virtual healthcare often involves complex payment scenarios including insurance reimbursements, co-pays, and split payments that require specialized handling.
