HIPPA Compliance & regulations

(HIPPA) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

Attain HIPPA compliance, Reduce ID Theft & Enhance Profitability

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) requires the establishment of national privacy standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers. This is intended to help people keep their personal health information private.

Detect fraud, increase HIPPA compliance & verify authenticity of identification instantly

Fraud Fighter™, a division of UVeritech, enables organizations that handle private patient data to add an additional safeguard and go a step further than the standards of HIPPA by enabling them to verify that the person who has presented themselves to receive a benefit is actually that person. Patients seeking to fill a prescription, receive medical treatment, receive compensation from an insurance policy or otherwise attempt to access health benefits can be validated, and a digital record of the ID document can be maintained (securely, in compliance with HIPPA guidelines). If an authorized ID is used, these digital records effectively aid in forensic investigations of fraudulent transactions occurring under false identification.

General Information on Privacy Standards

The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (Privacy Rule) establishes, for the first time, a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued the Privacy Rule to implement the requirement of HIPAA. The Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals’ health information—called “protected health information” by organizations subject to the Privacy Rule, as well as standards for individuals' privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used. Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights has responsibility for implementing and enforcing the Privacy Rule with respect to voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties.

HHS may impose civil money penalties on a covered entity of $100 per failure to comply with a Privacy Rule requirement.
