PCI Compliance for Healthcare Providers
Protect patient payment data and meet PCI DSS requirements with simple, secure, and HIPAA-aware solutions for clinics, hospitals, and healthcare platforms.
Why PCI Compliance Matters in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations process a high volume of credit card payments—both online and in-person. PCI DSS compliance is essential to protect this data and avoid penalties.
Our solutions make it easy to achieve PCI compliance without disrupting patient care. We understand the unique challenges healthcare providers face — from complex payment environments to balancing HIPAA and PCI requirements.
Key PCI Challenges in Healthcare
We understand the unique obstacles healthcare organizations face.
Hybrid Payment Environments
Healthcare providers often accept payments via POS terminals, patient portals, and billing platforms. We help unify compliance across all channels.
HIPAA + PCI Overlap

Healthcare PCI FAQ
Common questions about PCI compliance for healthcare providers.
Do I need both HIPAA and PCI compliance?
Yes, if you handle both patient health information and credit card payments. HIPAA protects PHI while PCI DSS protects cardholder data. The good news is many security controls overlap, so you can address both efficiently.
Which SAQ do most healthcare providers need?
It depends on your payment setup. Clinics using IP-connected terminals typically need SAQ B-IP. Those with patient portals accepting online payments may need SAQ A-EP or SAQ D. We’ll help you determine the right fit.
Do patient portals need to be PCI compliant?
Yes, if they accept credit card payments. Patient portals that process payments must meet PCI DSS requirements. Using a hosted payment solution can simplify compliance (SAQ A), while self-hosted payment forms require more controls.
How do we handle multi-location compliance?
We help healthcare organizations with multiple facilities centralize their PCI program. This includes unified scanning, consistent documentation, and ensuring all locations meet the same compliance standards.
