Stay compliant with HIPAA regulations

If your company sponsors self-insured group health plans covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), you’re required to comply with HIPAA regulations. G&A ensures you have measures in place to safeguard the health and medical records of employees participating in your plans.

HIPAA-protected information

In order to be HIPAA-compliant, you must safeguard your employees’ protected health information (PHI): any data that could reasonably be used to identify an individual. You’re also required to provide notice to your workforce about your HIPAA privacy practices and patient rights.

G&A can help ensure you remain HIPAA compliant

  • Helping you identify protected health information in your employee database
  • Creating, implementing and auditing policies and procedures regarding information security
  • Communicating information to your employees about their rights under HIPAA, and your company’s efforts to secure their records
