PCI DSS Requirements for HealthTech
PCI DSS is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies accepting, processing, storing, or transmitting credit card information maintain a secure environment.
HealthTech must integrate PCI with HIPAA, secure patient payment portals, and manage healthcare-specific payment workflows.
HealthTech platforms accepting payments for healthcare services, telemedicine, or medical products must comply with PCI DSS alongside HIPAA. This dual compliance requirement means implementing robust controls for both payment card data and protected health information.
HealthTech organizations accepting card payments must implement PCI DSS controls: secure payment integration for healthcare transactions, protection of payment data separate from PHI, access controls for payment systems, monitoring of payment processing, and alignment between PCI and HIPAA security controls.
Managing both PCI DSS and HIPAA creates complexity. Solutions include separating payment systems from PHI systems where possible, implementing unified security controls meeting both standards, using hosted payment solutions to minimize PCI scope while focusing on HIPAA, and documenting the relationship between compliance programs.
PCI DSS for HealthTech typically takes 5-10 months alongside HIPAA. Start by mapping payment flows separately from PHI flows, implement controls meeting both standards, use hosted payments to simplify scope, and coordinate your compliance programs.
