What is a Telemedicine Merchant Account?

A telemedicine merchant account is a merchant account for medical providers who treat patients remotely. Telemedicine has seen a sharp rise in popularity over the last 5 years with a significant jump in 2020. Telemedicine is an additional channel for delivering medical and healthcare services, unfortunately telemedicine businesses are considered high risk and most processors can’t or won’t work with these merchants.

There are a few factors associated with medical credit card processing that put healthcare merchants in the high risk category. Those risks include:

Chargebacks: Businesses that provide consultations and not tangible goods, such as in telemedicine, are more prone to a higher number of chargebacks. A chargeback is similar to a refund — except that the customer reverses the charges through his or her bank instead of through you, the merchant. In addition to losing the sale, that chargeback can also negatively impact your merchant account status — resulting in higher fees or account termination.
Fraud: Because telemedicine merchants process card not present transactions where the card cannot be visually verified by the merchant, telemedicine merchants are more likely to be victims of fraud. As such, many providers are reluctant to offer healthcare merchant services to telemedicine businesses that operate primarily online.
Compliance: Telemedicine merchants require enhanced due diligence in order to properly vet any claims. This involves more time, paperwork and expenses for the merchant and the payment processor. For many providers, these extra costs aren’t worth the effort.

Securing a merchant account for a telemedicine business requires a payment processor who specializes in high risk businesses and understands the unique needs of telemedicine merchants. Signature Payments has a long history of serving telehealth merchants.
