Protect card data without adding another disconnected audit. We know where healthcare payment data actually lives, from patient portals to the ED.
Any entity that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data must comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). In healthcare, card data rarely lives alone. It sits next to protected health information, inside the same systems your clinical and revenue-cycle teams depend on every day.
Non-compliance carries real consequences, from fines and processing restrictions to reputational damage in a sector built on trust, plus increased regulatory oversight down the line. Healthcare is a trust relationship, and a card-data failure erodes that trust on top of any HIPAA exposure you already manage.
Most healthcare organizations also feel the duplication. HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and enterprise risk programs all interrogate the same underlying controls. Without integration, clinical and IT staff answer the same questions multiple times to multiple teams. PCI DSS should not add another disconnected audit to that pile.
We run PCI DSS as a defined, four-step engagement so you always know where you stand and what comes next.
Throughout, we integrate PCI DSS with your other Meditology assessments and audits. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), HITRUST, and System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) all interrogate overlapping controls, so evidence gathered once can serve multiple programs.
A clear map of your cardholder data environment: documented process flows and diagrams that show exactly how card data moves through your environment.
A precise read on where you stand: a gap analysis against PCI DSS v4.0.1 requirements, with recommendations you can act on.
The right paperwork the first time: Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) completion support across every version, A, A-EP, B, B-IP, C, C-VT, P2PE, SPoC, D for Merchants, and D for Service Providers, so you're never guessing which applies to you.
A Report on Compliance (ROC): when a QSA Level 1 assessment applies.
Gaps that close on a plan, not a scramble: remediation project management, tracking, and reporting to drive issues to closure.
Your quarterly ASV scans on the same calendar as your assessment: scanning is delivered through Qualys, the PCI Security Standards Council-approved scanning vendor of record, and coordinated by Meditology as part of one program. See PCI ASV Scanning for vulnerability scanning details.
PCI DSS in healthcare is not a retail problem wearing a lab coat. Card data reaches you through patient payment portals, lockbox operations, cafeteria, parking, point-of-service collections in registration and the ED, and a revenue cycle vendor chain that most assessors have never scoped.
Meditology is a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) working only in healthcare. When we scope your cardholder data environment, the conversation about which systems are in scope starts from how healthcare actually collects payment. As a QSA Meditology can help you with your SAQ or your ROC.
We also manage your quarterly ASV scanning through Qualys, the PCI Security Standards Council’s approved scanning vendor, so the required external scans and your assessment run as one coordinated program instead of two vendors and two calendars. Your PCI evidence does not sit in a silo either: the same control work supports your HIPAA and HITRUST obligations
It depends on your merchant or service-provider level and how you handle card data. Meditology helps determine the right SAQ version or whether a QSA Level 1 Report on Compliance (ROC) applies.
Meditology is a PCI QSA company for your assessment. Qualys is the approved scanning vendor (ASV) of record for your required external scans, coordinated through our PCI ASV Scanning service so both run on one calendar
Yes. We integrate PCI DSS with HITRUST, SOC 2, and HIPAA so the same control evidence works across programs and reduces duplication.
Five steps: Discovery and Scoping, Gap Analysis, Reporting and Recommendations, Remediation Planning, and Final Assessment (SAQ or ROC completion).
Timelines vary by scope, including your SAQ type, whether a ROC is required, and the size of your cardholder data environment.
Close the gap between policy and practice. Bring your card-data compliance into the same operating rhythm as the rest of your healthcare GRC program.
