HIPAA Compliance Statement
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act became law in August 1996. Known as HIPAA, it set forth a series of widespread measures to simplify the processing and distribution of medical information, to improve the portability of health insurance, to give patients access to medical information and to protect patient data that is stored, processed or transmitted across public networks.
What’s a “HIPAA-compliant” Website?
A “HIPAA-compliant” website has the physical and technological security measures required to ensure that patient information, physician-patient correspondence and other sensitive information remains secure, confidential and unable to be digitally intercepted or otherwise accessed by outside parties. In short, a “HIPPA-compliant” website means all required steps have been taken to keep private information private. It is a “safe” website.
