HIPAA

Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act

COMPLIANCE

Protected health information

The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires protection of identifiable health information, otherwise known as Protected Health Information (PHI). To remain compliant, employers must have in place certain safeguards, policies, and procedures to protect the security of electronically-transmitted and electronically-stored PHI.

We alleviate the burden on employers by researching needs and creating required documents, clearly outlining staff responsibilities.

We equip you with the tools necessary to ensure HIPAA compliance, staying updated on changing regulations so you don’t have to.

Why TASC HIPAA Compliance?

This is not
going away

Healthcare data breaches are common and increasing, and can have a significant negative impact on your employees. They not only expose Social Security numbers, credit card information, and other financial details, but make employees vulnerable to identity theft and fraudulent charges.

Then there’s loss of medical privacy, emotional distress, disrupted care and ultimately loss of trust. How can you afford not to put your trust in TASC.
