Technical Safeguards. We use reasonable technical measures intended to help protect electronic health information from unauthorized access, consistent with the nature of the work we perform for healthcare providers and patients.
Physical Safeguards. Where applicable, reasonable physical measures are used to help protect records, devices, and information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Confidential Handling of Information. Our team is expected to treat client and patient information as confidential and to handle it with the discretion appropriate to sensitive healthcare and billing information.
Ongoing Compliance. We aim to stay informed of applicable HIPAA requirements as they relate to our work and to align our internal practices accordingly. This commitment applies to our work supporting both healthcare providers and patients.
