Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Data Doctors Data Recovery understands the need to be compliant with HIPAA
regulations. Our business has always been very secure against outside entities
hacking into our data bases and we have implemented internal security measures
to keep your data secure.
Privacy is what keeps many of our clients coming back for our services again
and again. We respect the privacy of you and your patients. Our Service
Agreement is also a non-disclosure agreement. In most cases medical facilities,
medical billing companies, clinics, etc. have their own non-disclosure form that
they need signed. This not a problem, we take all required steps and necessary
precautions to stay within the HIPAA regulations.
Effective April 14, 2004, all covered entities must have Business Associate
Contracts with their business associates that contain the mandatory provisions
required by the Privacy Rule
The Privacy Rule requires covered entities to guard against misuse of personally
identifiable health information and limit the sharing of such information. The
Privacy Rule also grants consumers significant rights regarding the use and
disclosure of their health information.
The Security Rule requires covered entities to implement basic safeguards to
protect Electronic protected health information ("PHI") from
unauthorized access, alteration, deletion, and transmission. The security
standards define the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to
protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic PHI.
