HIPAA compliance is a living culture that health care organizations must implement within their business to protect the privacy, security, and integrity of protected health information. Since A Professional Image answering service is considered a Business Associate, we take Privacy and Security Rules very seriously.
Since there is no official HIPAA certification available to our industry, we have partnered up with VanRein Compliance. VanRein conducts a yearly Risk Assessment, provides timely HIPAA and Privacy training for our staff, and keeps API up to date with any new rules and regulations. In addition to having a 3rd party compliance partner, API has several policies and procedures in place to protect data.
We also provide:
- Secure Message App and desk top version
- Encrypted Email
- Encrypted Servers
- Signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with all medical clients
- On-going HIPAA and Privacy training with staff
- Secure systems for disposing of confidential information
- Secure Web Portals
