Credit Card Processing for Medical Practices
A medical practice may take a copay at check-in, collect a balance at checkout, or direct patients to a portal after a visit. We read every line of a recent statement and explain the charges in plain English.
Credit card processing for medical practices starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for medical practices line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a medical practice get a merchant account?
Yes, most medical practices can. Approval rests with the processor after reviewing the business, the owner and processing history; nobody can promise it. Reception copays and later portal payments should reconcile against the same patient balance. Send one recent statement and we will review it free.

Send your statement for a free reviewMedical practices: common questions
Can a medical practice qualify for a merchant account?
Most do. The processor decides approval based on the business, the owner and processing history. We help find a fit, but we cannot promise approval.
What should I send for the free statement review?
Send one recent monthly statement with every page, as a PDF or clear photos. Upload it on our contact page for a human review.
Can patients pay balances through a portal?
Many processing setups support portal payments. The statement may show separate gateway and card-not-present charges for those transactions.
Are HSA or FSA cards accepted?
Acceptance depends on the card and the processor setup. Ask your processor how those transactions are supported and shown in your reports.
