HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a sweeping set of federal legislation and regulations created to improve the portability of an individual's healthcare coverage when changing jobs, to promote administrative simplification of health insurance, and to promote the privacy and security of patient information.

Healthcare providers, group health plans, managed care providers, and professional services companies all need to be HIPAA compliant.

Health Care Providers, and large qualifying organizations were mandated to be compliant in April 2003. Any employer that offers a Health Insurance Plan, or self-funds an insurance plan via a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (Section 105), or offers Cafeteria Plan benefits (Section 125) to employees must become HIPAA compliant by April 2004.

You need to be HIPAA compliant. We have your solution.

The HIPAA Rule outlines approximately 80 requirements. An employer offering any of the above benefits (unlike a HealthCare Provider) is only subject to approximately 35 of the Privacy and Security requirements. PayCom can work with you to determine the course of action you need to take to ensure compliance with the requirements mandatory for your specific organization.
