Mental Health & Counseling is not a generic retail template, and your processing setup should not behave like one. Your reality on the ground: recurring session billing with patient data kept secure. The usual break points are sensitive customer data widening your PCI and compliance scope and fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders. Gateway focuses on pCI scope reduction: point-to-point encryption and tokenization keep raw card data out of your systems. Transparent interchange-plus and a specialist who answers.
