Hippa ComplianceSo you’re interested in HIPPA Compliance, and wonder maybe how we at Complete Dental marketing can help you with that? Well before going any further we have to make sure we’re all on the same page.
For those who don’t know, HIPAA Compliance stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This act is basically for protection of the privacy of patients health information. With HIPPA, a dentistry will have to be very careful on how it operates not only around the office, but on the internet as well. Since the beginning of HIPAA in 1996, its implications have extremely affected all areas including dentistry. 
Although if asked, most staff and their dentist would say they know the HIPAA regulations and have been trained, most may not actually be up to date with HIPAA’s always expanding changes and compliance requirements. We take initiative to do the research because it is our job to know for you! We are trained in areas of privacy, security, Enforcement and Breach Notification rules and much more. Your practice must be careful especially when emails are not encrypted while customer insurance information is being transferred.We are specialized and always provide HIPPA compliant service!
