The Truth About HIPAA, Certificates, & Ongoing Requirements
There is no official HIPAA Compliance Certificate issued by the U.S. Government or any official body that regulates HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
While businesses and healthcare providers are required to comply with HIPAA’s rules and regulations, there’s no formal certification process overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or any official government entity that provides a compliance certificate.
However, many third-party organizations offer HIPAA training and compliance programs that provide certificates upon completion. These certificates demonstrate that an individual or organization has undergone training and understands HIPAA’s requirements, but they do not guarantee full compliance with HIPAA.
True HIPAA compliance is an ongoing process that involves:
- Meeting privacy requirements
- Maintaining security standards
- Sending breach notifications
- Regular assessments
- Implementing and updating safeguards as existing technology evolves and new technology is adopted
- Training staff and testing for competence
- Well-documented policies and procedures that are updated as needed
Becoming HIPAA Compliant Involves a Series of Steps to Ensure that You Meet the Standards Outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
These rules are in place to protect the privacy and security of individuals’ health information.
LME Guides Businesses Through HIPAA Compliance via a Series of Steps:
Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
LME conducts a CSRA to identify vulnerabilities and document the steps necessary to mitigate obvious risks.
Privacy & Security Officer Designation
We take on a co-management role as a Privacy and Security Officer and assist in ensuring that HIPAA policies and procedures are followed.
Administrative, Physical, & Technical Safeguards Implementation
Based on the CSRA we document and implement Administrative, Physical and Technical Safeguards to protect all PHI and networked systems.
Safeguard and Training Deployment
We implement proactive safeguards and train your employees to be cognizant of common scams and hacking methodologies.
Business Associate Agreement Collection
You then send a Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to any third-party vendors who access, store, or transmit your PHI (such as cloud providers, billing services, or 3rd party software vendors).
Establishment of Breach Notification Process
Following HIPAA’s Breach Notification Rules, we establish a Breach Notification Process to detect, investigate, and respond to breaches of PHI.
Keep in mind that HIPAA compliance is not a one-time task but an ongoing process of maintaining, updating, and enforcing the necessary protections for sensitive health information.
Data is money, so treat it as such.
