HIPAA HITECH FAQ

Q: My business is cash only and/or I don’t submit to Medicaid or Medicare. Can these rules apply to my company?

A: Yes. If you transmit, process or store electronic identifiable patient health information then you fall under HITECH rules.


Q: How do I know if I have had an assessment?

A: Did you or an outside firm perform a network scan and thoroughly examine documentation? If not then you are still in need of the annual assessment required by law.


Q: I have an IT company maintaining our systems, so we are compliant, right?

A: Not necessarily. You need a comprehensive risk analysis to show you areas of concern that your IT company may not see with regular maintenance tasks.


Q: If someone came to my location and scanned my network, is that considered an assessment?

A: No. A vulnerability scan is only a small part of becoming fully compliant. Our 92-point HIPAA/ HITECH security assessment with remedial plan will ensure your ePHI data is secure.
