What HIPAA Means for Your Practice
HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is basically a set of nationwide rules. These rules are all about keeping patient health information private and safe. It’s the main way we make sure medical data stays secure.
These important rules apply to everyone in healthcare: every doctor, every hospital, every medical billing company, and anyone else who handles patient information. If you deal with medical records, HIPAA rules are for you.
At My Credentialing LLC, we truly understand the big responsibility that comes with looking at patient records. When we’re sending out claims or going over reports, we follow strict HIPAA rules. This means we make sure everything stays private, secure, and handled correctly—every single time. For us, it’s not just a regulation; it’s a commitment to the providers we work with and the patients they take care of.
Our Approach to Keeping You Compliant
We’ve built our entire billing process with patient privacy in mind, right from the start. Here’s exactly what we do to stay compliant and protect your practice:
- Every person on our team signs a confidentiality agreement before they even begin working with us.
- We provide ongoing HIPAA training, so our staff always knows the right way to handle protected health information.
- Access to sensitive data is strictly controlled and monitored—no one sees anything they shouldn’t.
- All data we send is encrypted, and our network is kept safe with firewalls and VPNs.
- Our workstations are password-protected, and we don’t allow USB drives or other outside storage.
- Our office is under surveillance, and we carefully track and manage all documents.
- Any printed material gets shredded daily—we never leave anything just sitting around.
- A dedicated compliance officer makes sure everything stays current and follows all HIPAA rules.
