1. Purpose & Scope
This Rider designates you (“Merchant“) as a Healthcare Processing Account and supplements your Merchant Processing Agreement to permit Pre-Authorized Healthcare Transactions under an approved Healthcare Processing Arrangement. You may process the following transaction types (“Enhanced Healthcare Transaction Types“), typically prohibited under standard retail merchant agreements; Card-on-File / Stored Credential, Pre-Authorized, Recurring, Card-Not-Present, and Post-Adjudicated healthcare transactions. When processed in accordance with this Rider, these transactions are classified as Healthcare Services (“Services“), not products, and benefit from additional chargeback protections.
2. Regulatory Authority
This Rider permits Enhanced Healthcare Transaction Types in a manner compliant with the following Card-Brand Rules:
Visa: Core Rules § 5.8.14.1; Interlink Operating Regulations, Pre-Authorized Healthcare Form requirements
Mastercard: Transaction Processing Rules § 5.3 Credential-on-File transactions
American Express Merchant Operating Guide § 4.5.3 Credential-on-File transactions
Discover: Operating Regulations § 9.11 Stored Card.
3. Healthcare Program Benefits
Participation in the Healthcare Program under this Rider:
Ensures compliance with Card-Brand, Acquirer, and PCI DSS standards under the Healthcare MCC classification, with tokenization and point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for cardholder data and HIPAA-aligned privacy practices.
Grants to Merchant a limited license to use MediPay’s proprietary Healthcare Program forms (the “Healthcare Program Forms”), including: The Pre-Authorized Healthcare Form (Exhibit A) and The Good Faith Estimate Patient Option Letter™.
The Healthcare Program Forms align with the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) requirements under the No Surprises Act (42 U.S.C. § 300gg-136), which include the option to cap the Pre-Authorized payment options consistent with the $400 variance guidelines. Pre-Authorized Healthcare Form is required, supporting evidentiary documentation in chargeback disputes under Visa § 11.1, et seq, Mastercard Chargeback Guide; American Express § 10.6, and Discover § 12.2.3.
4. Merchant Duties
The Merchant agrees to:
Obtain and retain a signed Pre-Authorized Healthcare Form for each patient (valid for twelve (12) months).
Process all covered transactions through the approved Healthcare Account only.
Maintain PCI DSS and HIPAA-aligned credential controls and security.
Retain each authorization record for ninety (90) days beyond final settlement.
Cease billing immediately upon patient revocation or Acquirer notice.
Comply with all applicable laws, Card-Brand Rules, Merchant Processing Agreement, and Service Order Terms.
Failure to comply with the above may result in removal from the Healthcare Program.
5. Inclusion & Effectiveness
