Our Approach
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a U.S. federal law that sets standards for the privacy and security of personal health information (PHI). It requires covered entities, such as healthcare providers, health insurers, and healthcare clearinghouses, to implement safeguards to protect PHI from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. HIPAA also provides individuals with certain rights regarding their PHI, including the right to access, amend, and request a copy of their medical records. Compliance with HIPAA is essential for healthcare organizations to avoid fines and penalties and maintain the trust of their patients.
