What is HIPAA?

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This law was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. The HIPAA laws include many provisions that safeguard the privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI).

How is MEDRECS HIPAA compliant?

Maintaining the security and privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI) is MEDRECS’ top priority. MEDRECS utilizes state-of-the-art technology and SSL certified servers to ensure the security of all information that is received, processed, and transmitted by MEDRECS. All MEDRECS, Inc. employees are trained and tested on HIPAA regulations and MEDRECS maintains strict procedural steps to ensure accuracy and HIPAA compliance. These include a 4 step Quality Assurance (QA) process and strict adherence to MEDRECS 3 pillars of security. The 3 pillars include diligent inspection by three sets of eyes on all records retrieved by MEDRECS, transmission of records through our secure, password protected, SSL server, and 100% cogency of information requested and information released.

What are the permitted uses and disclosures of Protected Health Information?

As defined in the HIPAA laws, MEDRECS will use the PHI in its possession for its proper management and administration and to fulfill any present and future legal responsibilities, provided that such uses are permitted under state and federal confidentiality laws. MEDRECS will ensure that its directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents do not use PHI received in any manner that would constitute a violation of HIPAA Privacy regulations. MEDRECS will only disclose PHI in its possession to third parties who have provided written authorizations regarding the information to be release and its confidential handling of PHI and reporting of any such breaches in confidentiality of PHI to the provider and as required by HIPAA regulations.

How does HIPAA affect the requestor?

HIPAA privacy laws place strict requirements on healthcare providers and other covered parties that handle Protected Health Information, such as MEDRECS. The requestor is required to use a HIPAA-compliant authorization and provide complete and concise information regarding the information requested. MEDRECS has a HIPAA-compliant authorization form you can use to ensure that your requests don't get returned because your authorization doesn't meet HIPAA requirements (see the Forms Download page).
