Why Are Healthcare Businesses Seen as High‑Risk?

Healthcare and dental practices must balance patient billing, insurance claims, and the protection of sensitive data. Payment gateways flag this complexity as risk, leading to throttled approvals or outright denials. 

Here are the factors that trigger extra scrutiny:

High Chargeback and Refund Rates

Insurance adjustments, coding errors, or patient disputes often lead to more chargebacks than in retail. A single corrected claim can result in multiple refund requests and slow repayments.

Complex Insurance and Billing Workflows

Collecting co‑pays, tracking deductibles, and submitting secondary claims adds layers of processing steps. Each hand‑off between you, insurers, and patients introduces a potential point of failure.

Sensitive Patient Data Requirements

Protecting patient health information under HIPAA is non‑negotiable. Any data breach risk creates liability concerns for payment partners worried about compliance fines.

Recurring and Subscription Billing

From therapy sessions to medication plans, many practices depend on recurring payments. A failed charge on an expired card or a declined ACH entry can damage patient trust and impact revenue forecasts.

Regulatory Compliance Demands

Healthcare providers must meet PCI-DSS standards, as well as additional healthcare regulations. Non-compliance can result in stalled funds, trigger fines, or lead to account holds without warning.

Varied Patient Payment Methods

Accepting credit cards, digital wallets, installment plans, and direct bank transfers complicates reconciliation and flood risk management systems due to the diverse types of transactions.
