Understanding HIPAA
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. law that sets standards for the protection of sensitive patient health information. Healthcare organizations, including third-party vendors, must comply with HIPAA to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of Protected Health Information (PHI). Covered entities must ensure that PHI is handled securely, both in storage and during transmission.
CORL and Meditology Services help healthcare organizations, payors, and vendors adhere to HIPAA standards to reduce the risk of data breaches and fines. In fact, Meditology serves as a HIPAA expert witness firm for the Office for Civil Rights, and has deep expertise in helping clients prepare for OCR audits.
