A2ZHCS complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 and its regulations to ensure the privacy and security of individuals’ health information. We strictly control the collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) by healthcare providers and insurance organizations. HIPAA mandates national standards for electronic healthcare transactions and requires unique identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers, all of which we fully implement.

The adoption of these standards has greatly improved the use of electronic data interchange (EDI) in healthcare. To safeguard healthcare data and maintain accountability, all A2ZHCS employees sign a confidentiality agreement upon joining the organization, and they are informed that any security violations will result in penalties. Additionally, we conduct regular compliance training programs to ensure our employees stay up-to-date on HIPAA regulations and ethical work practices.

By following best practices for privacy and security, A2ZHCS is committed to providing services that help our clients fully comply with HIPAA requirements, ensuring the highest levels of protection for health information.
