HIPAA Compliance
Our Commitment to HIPAA Compliance
Apexita is committed to maintaining full compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. We understand the critical importance of protecting patient health information (PHI) and have implemented comprehensive security measures to ensure compliance.
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that establishes national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge. HIPAA compliance is mandatory for healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as their business associates.
