While most businesses work with high-risk merchant account providers to set up payment processing solutions, healthcare companies face additional challenges due to the sensitive nature of the industry. PayGround, a US-based healthcare payment processing company, recently launched its Payment API allowing organizations to streamline payment processing.
The new API can be directly integrated into the PayGround platform. With this new payment API, healthcare organizations can have payment processing capabilities with their existing system without interfering with patient involvement.
The Goal of PayGround’s New Payment API
PayGround’s Payment API is designed to help the healthcare industry improve its payment processing system. CEO of PayGround Drew Mercer said that the healthcare industry needs a new payment API to meet the complex industry-related challenges including HIPAA compliance.
The healthcare-specific Payment API is part of PayGrounds’ commitment to expanding its platform. Mercer further commented, “We’re excited to continue to grow PayGround’s capabilities to be able to offer multiple secure and effective payment solutions for our partners.”
PayGround Payment API is said to offer better services than its existing iFrame technology. While iFrame technology can be embedded into the healthcare provider’s system to collect payments, process credit card transactions, and show outstanding balances, the new payment API offers a more sophisticated solution.
The payment API allows healthcare institutions to retain user information in their systems to pay their bills. Also, Payment API has the capability to process one-time payments using digital wallets or manually enter credit card details.
Moreover, the payment API also has the capabilities of processing recurring payments using a previously used and stored digital wallet item. PayGround’s payment API can also issue a refund for a transaction or void it altogether. In addition, PayGround Payment API has reporting tools for settlement and reconciliation.
