Vanliga frågor

How can individual practitioners in MCC 8099 maintain PCI DSS compliance without dedicated IT staff?

Individual practitioners can achieve PCI DSS compliance by using certified third-party payment gateways and terminals that handle the sensitive card data, thereby reducing their scope of compliance.

Providers like Cardflo offer solutions that simplify compliance by ensuring data is encrypted and tokenised, requiring minimal effort from the merchant for self-assessment questionnaires (SAQs).

What are common issues with 'no-show' fees and chargebacks for practitioners in MCC 8099?

'No-show' fees can lead to chargebacks if the patient disputes the charge, claiming they were unaware of the policy or cancelled adequately. Practitioners should have clear, prominently displayed cancellation policies that require patient acknowledgement (e.

g. , via digital sign-off or booking terms), and only charge the card after a reasonable notice period has passed.

Are there specific considerations for telehealth services under MCC 8099?

For telehealth, practitioners must ensure their payment processing is integrated with secure, compliant platforms. Card-not-present transactions should utilise 3D Secure 2.

0 to authenticate customers and minimise fraud liability. Additionally, privacy regulations (like GDPR or HIPAA) regarding patient data in a remote setting are critical, extending beyond PCI DSS requirements.
