Healthcare Merchant Accreditation
Healthcare Merchant Accreditation is our broadest, most accessible accreditation program. It is available to a wide range of health care and health care-adjacent business models around the world. Merchants typically leverage NABP’s Healthcare Merchant Accreditation to meet requirements set by online advertising platforms (eg, Google, Bing) and card brand networks (eg, Visa, Mastercard). Healthcare Merchant Accreditation is also a prerequisite for NABP’s Digital Pharmacy Accreditation.
Healthcare Merchant Accreditation is an annual accreditation that ensures that merchants are properly licensed and follow applicable laws and business best practices. Once your organization is accredited, we will add you to our list of Accredited Healthcare Merchants.
