By empowering healthcare organizations, payment services providers, and platforms to grow safely and confidently, LegitScript continues to set the standard for compliance and patient trust in a rapidly evolving industry.

LegitScript, the leader in merchant and product certification and monitoring, today announced record growth and expanded global recognition of its healthcare certification program. As the highly regulated digital market undergoes rapid transformation, LegitScript achieved a 103% year-over-year increase in certified healthcare organizations, reflecting surging demand from telehealth, pharmaceutical, and other digital health providers and platforms seeking to operate safely, remain compliant, and scale with confidence.

The company’s momentum comes as the healthcare industry gathers at the HLTH 2025 conference in Las Vegas, where LegitScript will join global leaders in discussing the future of digital health innovation. As healthcare delivery continues to rapidly shift toward virtual care, LegitScript’s growth spotlights the rising regulatory and reputational risks facing digital health companies.

“As healthcare innovation rapidly evolves, LegitScript’s mission is to help healthcare organizations navigate evolving rules, safeguard patients, and scale responsibly,” said Scott Roth, Chief Executive Officer at LegitScript. “Our certification program empowers platforms, payment providers, and healthcare innovators to remain committed to transparency and sustainable growth.”

Scaling Compliance for the Digital Health Era

LegitScript Certification is a benchmark across digital health, pharma, and payments, providing organizations with a clear path to market while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. Certification assists companies in gaining access to leading advertising platforms like Google and Meta, and it helps maintain crucial card-not-present payment capabilities with Visa and Mastercard, who recognize LegitScript Certification as a critical part of the approval process.

As telehealth platforms, marketing agencies, and payments companies expand their coverage into digital health, they are leveraging LegitScript Enterprise Certification as part of their core client onboarding. LegitScript enterprise adoption is accelerating, with a 71% year-over-year increase in Enterprise Certification clients, and a 25% rise among payment companies leveraging LegitScript Certification to safely onboard and monitor merchants in regulated healthcare categories. Among LegitScript-certified healthcare advertisers, 69% now offer telemedicine services, illustrating how LegitScript supports innovation while helping organizations meet complex regulatory expectations.

Streamlining Certification to Support Growth

As healthcare businesses scale, LegitScript has refined its certification workflows to improve speed and clarity for applicants and simplify renewals for existing customers. Enhanced data integrations now streamline reviews while ensuring that every certification continues to meet LegitScript’s rigorous compliance standards.

Expanding Reach Across Global Healthcare

The global reach of LegitScript’s Healthcare Merchant Certification includes telehealth, online pharmacies, medical spas, prescription eyewear, and direct-to-consumer pharma. In 2025 alone, Google expanded telemedicine advertising programs in the UK, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan, illustrating the increasing adoption of healthcare services in the online space globally. Enhancing global healthcare access will be an important discussion at the HLTH 2025 conference.

“In our first year attending, HLTH represents the true convergence of innovation, technology, and compliance,” said Angela Salter, Director Certification Sales and Partnerships at LegitScript. “That convergence not only reflects our values as a company, but also those of the LegitScript-certified clients who will be there alongside us. Together, we’re demonstrating that in a high-risk healthcare environment, compliance is not a hurdle to progress, but the foundation for growth.”
