Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Eco Data Recovery understands the need to be compliant with HIPAA regulations.
Our business has always been very secure against outside entities hacking into our data
bases and we have implemented internal security measures to keep your data secure.
Privacy is what keeps many of our clients coming back for our services again and again.
We respect the privacy of you and your patients.
Our Service Agreement is also a non-disclosure agreement. In most cases medical
facilities, medical billing companies, clinics, etc. have their own non-disclosure form that
they need signed. This not a problem, we take all required steps and necessary
precautions to stay within the HIPAA regulations.
Effective April 14, 2004, all covered entities must have Business Associate Contracts
with their business associates that contain the mandatory provisions required by
the Privacy Rule
The Privacy Rule requires covered entities to guard against misuse of personally
identifiable health information and limit the sharing of such information. The Privacy
Rule also grants consumers significant rights regarding the use and disclosure of their
health information.
The Security Rule requires covered entities to implement basic safeguards to protect
Electronic protected health information ("PHI") from unauthorized access, alteration,
deletion, and transmission. The security standards define the administrative, physical,
and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
electronic PHI.
