Why telehealth platforms and online pharmacies across the USA choose Expedio over aggregators and generic high-risk processors.
Fast approval decisions with a complete file and LegitScript in place, not weeks of back-and-forth.
Multiple acquirers mean more approval paths, so one decision cannot end your business.
Underwriting that expects recurring Rx billing and card-not-present volume, so your funds never get held.
Memberships and refill plans rebill cleanly on secure card-on-file, without being flagged.
Tokenized cards let repeat patients reorder in seconds while their data stays protected.
Month-to-month, transparent pricing, and a dedicated manager in EN, ES, or UR.
It is a high-risk payment account built for businesses that deliver care and dispense prescriptions online, so it processes consultations, recurring refills, and prescription orders without flagging your activity or freezing your funds.
Standard processors are built for simple retail. When they see card-not-present healthcare volume, recurring subscription billing, and refunds tied to prescriptions, their automated systems read it as "unusual" and freeze the account. That is why so many telehealth platforms and online pharmacies are approved quickly, then shut down weeks later, right when patient volume is climbing.
A telehealth or online pharmacy merchant account is placed with an acquiring bank that understands the model and expects LegitScript certification, reviewed by a real underwriter. Pricing runs higher than plain retail and a reserve may apply, because the bank is pricing genuine risk, but in return you get stability, the right limits, and a processor that will not panic at how a licensed online healthcare business actually operates. For the wider picture, see our high risk merchant accounts guide.
From a single telehealth clinic to national mail-order pharmacies, we place the licensed healthcare businesses that mainstream processors decline.
Consultation fees, virtual visits, and provider platforms on one stable account.
Prescription fulfilment and retail Rx sales with LegitScript-aware placement.
Men's health, women's health, dermatology, and wellness brands that ship prescriptions.
Custom-formulation pharmacies that need clean processing for specialty orders.
Recurring memberships and automatic refill plans billed on secure card-on-file.
National fulfilment operations shipping prescriptions across multiple states.
It is rarely about whether your business is licensed. It is about a model that generic processors were never built to understand.
Almost every payment is online, and standard processors treat high CNP volume as elevated fraud risk.
Subscriptions and prescription refunds raise chargeback exposure that generic systems freeze against.
State boards, the DEA, and card-network rules require LegitScript, which mainstream processors avoid entirely.
Rogue pharmacies gave the whole category a name, so legitimate, licensed operators get judged by it.
Built on Netevia's infrastructure, Expedio delivers the stability and tools that mainstream processors refuse to offer online healthcare businesses.
Underwriting that expects telehealth activity, with limits set to your real volume and ticket size.
Refill plans and membership programs rebill cleanly, without being flagged as unusual.
Tokenized card storage so repeat patients reorder fast while their data stays protected.
Visit fees and prescription orders processed on the same stable account.
