Stay compliant with HIPAA regulations
If your company sponsors self-insured group health plans covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), you’re required to comply with HIPAA regulations. G&A ensures you have measures in place to safeguard the health and medical records of employees participating in your plans.
HIPAA-protected information
In order to be HIPAA-compliant, you must safeguard your employees’ protected health information (PHI): any data that could reasonably be used to identify an individual. You’re also required to provide notice to your workforce about your HIPAA privacy practices and patient rights.
G&A can help ensure you remain HIPAA compliant
- Helping you identify protected health information in your employee database
- Creating, implementing and auditing policies and procedures regarding information security
- Communicating information to your employees about their rights under HIPAA, and your company’s efforts to secure their records
