HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. With regard to your website, it is vital that all patient information, also knowns as protected health information or PHI, be protected. HIPAA regulations apply to anyone providing treatment, managing payments, working in operations, business associates and subcontractors who have access to PHI. This means your website (and your website provider) should be HIPAA compliant.
Many forms of personal information can fall into this category. Some of these things are medical-related. But many things are not and are often overlooked by those building websites. These things can include:
You need a HIPAA-compliant website if you deal with PHI (protected health information). This could be direct or indirect contact. HIPAA regulation falls on those that provide treatment, receive payment, work in operations, are business associates, and subcontractors.
Sometimes you might not expect a customer to send this type of information through a website form, but they often do. Once this happens, your company is now responsible for this personal information.
As a business owner, it is important to align yourself with a digital marketing agency that is knowledgeable in HIPAA compliance. Contact Crosby Digital Marketing today to find out how to make your website HIPAA compliant.
