Grow-High focuses on conducting business with integrity and in compliance with all applicable health information privacy laws including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
Privacy standards have been established by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to protect an individual's identifiable health information from unauthorized disclosure. As part of Grow-High’s strong commitment to HIPAA compliance and to prevent violations of the health information privacy laws, we have designed a formal HIPAA Compliance Program.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA was the result of the country’s need to have standards in place for ensuring patient privacy.
Under HIPAA, patient information must be kept confidential. We understand that medical billing companies deal with patient information regularly, since they receive health-care claims that reveal the name of the patient and the services that were rendered to him. Consequently, our employees who work the inbound claims must adhere to HIPAA standards or else they can be charged with breaking a HIPAA law. This means that employees shall not discuss patient information with others outside of work or disclose their information wrongly. We have policy of upgrading HIPAA confidentiality rules into our operating policies and procedures as a safeguard to ensure that staff understands the significance of the federal requirement.
