How to Surcharge Responsibly: A Guide for Health Providers
For many health businesses, payment systems can be an afterthought – necessary but not given the attention they need. With the right payment partner, any health business can access powerful tools that can improve cashflow and help grow your practice.
Traditionally, for many health businesses, inflexible EFTPOS solutions has meant providers working in the same practice would need their own separate payment terminal, leading to a tangled web of transactions, reconciliation, and administrative headaches. Nowadays, technology is providing a much smoother experience for this common issue.
With Tyro Health multi-merchant, businesses can set up multiple providers on a single EFTPOS device to process payments and settle funds to a nominated bank account. It’s simple, secure and fast, and health businesses across all modalities and sizes are adopting it.
Below, we explain five of the key benefits of multi-merchant and why so many businesses are adopting it to keep their practice running smoothly, and their patients happy.
- Lots of providers? No problem.
5, 10, 100, no matter how many health provider accounts you have, Tyro Health multi-merchant allows an unlimited number to be linked to one Tyro EFTPOS machine. With the ability to debit fees from a nominated account.
- It makes payments easy.
Card payments processed on a Tyro EFTPOS machine can settle directly to the nominated bank account of an individual provider. Easy, fast, secure.

Multi-merchant ensures that each provider maintains their distinct merchant account. This segregation of accounts enables accurate tracking of transactions, making reconciliation and reporting more straightforward.
- It allows Medicare and Private Health Insurance claims to be raised at a provider level.
