Complying With the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HIPAA is a set of regulations that govern the handling and protection of protected health information (PHI).
Healthcare providers are expected to be HIPAA compliant, but so are businesses that deal with PHI in any way, including insurance companies, billing services, coding firms, and phone answering services. Those who answer calls in the healthcare industry must maintain sensitivity and privacy in these interactions. Phone calls may include everything from medication refills to communication about test results.
