HIPAA Compliance

Business associated with healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and business associates handling protected health information (PHI) need HIPAA-compliant content. This includes:

Healthcare Providers' Websites: Websites of hospitals, clinics, physicians, dentists, therapists, and other healthcare professionals handling patient data electronically.

Health Plans' Websites: Insurance companies and health plans that manage patient data and claims electronically.

Healthcare Clearinghouses: Entities that process or facilitate the processing of health information.

Business Associates: Vendors and subcontractors that handle PHI on behalf of covered entities(healthcare providers, health plans) and handling PHI on their behalf, such as IT services, billing companies, or transcription services.

For these entities, ensuring that their website content complies with HIPAA standards regarding the handling, storage, and transmission of protected health information is crucial to maintain patient privacy and data security.

We guide covered entities and business associates through HITRUST CSF certification preparation and audit readiness using industry-recognized frameworks.

Whether you're a healthcare provider, insurer, IT vendor, or data processor handling PHI, our experts ensure your website and operations are compliant with HIPAA standards.

Who Needs HIPAA Compliance?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates compliance for entities handling protected health information (PHI). This includes:

  • Healthcare Providers: Websites for hospitals, clinics, doctors, dentists, and therapists that process electronic patient data.
  • Health Plans: Insurers offering private, employer-based, or government healthcare plans.
  • Healthcare Clearinghouses: Services that standardize and transmit healthcare data.
  • Business Associates: Vendors working with covered entities to handle PHI (e.g., IT firms, billing services, transcription providers).

These organizations must ensure their websites and digital content comply with HIPAA rules for storage, transmission, and privacy of PHI.
