What is HIPAA?

​

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. The law has emerged into greater prominence in recent years with the proliferation of health data breaches caused by cyber-attacks and ransomware attacks on health insurers and providers.

​

​

We are 100% HIPAA compliant!!

​

Any individual or entity that performs functions or activities on behalf of a covered entity that requires the business associate to access PHI is considered a business associate, according to HHS. Under HIPAA’s Privacy Rule, Onetouch medical billing is listed under the extension of Business Associate. 

​

We take HIPAA and PHI seriously and have zero tolerance in case any employee breach the privacy rules or caught compromising these rules, which can further lead to termination of employment and other legal actions.

​

We ensure that each individual working has their own credentials and only authenticated user can access the provider and patient information for the appropriate purposes.

​

OMB is completely compliant with HIPAA requirements and rules. Also, we always keep updating our privacy policies according to the frequent changes to the rules and regulations which helps us remain up-to-date pertaining to dos and don'ts of compliance.
