Payscout Integrates Digital Wallet into Epic’s MyChart for Enhanced Security and PCI Scope Reduction
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Payscout, a leading payment processing provider and certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), is proud to announce becoming the first payment processor to successfully integrate mobile payments—including Apple Pay and Google Pay—into Epic’s MyChart patient portal. This industry-first advancement offers healthcare providers a secure, streamlined, and fully integrated payment experience for patients, while dramatically reducing PCI scope and compliance costs.
Payscout’s Paywire Credit Card Interface and OSBP (Online Self Bill Pay) platform bring cutting-edge, black-box payment processing technology to the Epic ecosystem. This innovation allows for the secure acceptance of EMV credit card transactions—including mobile wallets—through Epic’s MyChart interface, without the software ever touching sensitive cardholder data.
A Seamless, Secure Solution for Healthcare Providers
Payscout’s Paywire solution is fully compatible with Epic’s credit card and check scanning device interfaces and is uniquely designed to support enterprise-level infrastructure, including Citrix-hosted environments and server farms. Key features and benefits include:
Digital Wallet Support: Accept Apple Pay and Google Pay directly through Epic’s MyChart portal
PCI Scope Reduction: Sensitive cardholder data is fully encrypted and never touches Epic systems
Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE): Ensures secure data handling throughout the transaction
Citrix-Compatible EMV Integration: Fully supports complex peripheral devices over secure channels
Device Auditing: Comprehensive monitoring via the Paywire Receiver for robust system oversight
Custom Integration Flexibility: Payscout’s experienced dev team can tailor implementations for any healthcare organization’s unique needs
A New Standard in Patient Payment Experience
With Payscout’s integration, patients can now make secure payments through MyChart using digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay—whether they’re on a smartphone, tablet, or a compatible desktop or laptop device. This added flexibility enhances the patient payment experience while helping healthcare providers reduce their PCI scope by eliminating the need to handle sensitive payment data, ultimately streamlining compliance and lowering operational risk.
One of Payscout’s valued healthcare partners, Johns Hopkins, successfully implemented the Paywire Gateway across its entire health system. By consolidating multiple payment points under a single platform, Johns Hopkins gained omnichannel, PCI-compliant payment options—including online and mobile payments, P2PE-enabled devices, and fully integrated EMV terminals—while significantly reducing processing costs and compliance burdens. This seamless integration with Epic’s MyChart empowered Johns Hopkins to unify payments across all departments, enhancing both operational efficiency and the patient experience.
"Our seamless integration with Epic allows healthcare providers to offer patients a streamlined and intuitive payment experience within their familiar MyChart environment, while helping organizations reduce administrative burdens and accelerate the revenue cycle for greater financial sustainability," - Cleveland Brown, CEO
