HIPAA Compliance Policy
AcuAce Med Health is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy, security, and confidentiality in accordance with HIPAA regulations.
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. It encompasses a set of federal regulations designed to protect sensitive patient health information and regulate how healthcare data is stored, transmitted, and accessed.
HIPAA regulations require organizations that handle patient data to implement enterprise-wide safeguards addressing privacy, security, and data integrity. These regulations ensure that personal health information (PHI) is protected and patient rights are preserved.
Our HIPAA Compliance Commitment
Under HIPAA’s Privacy Rule, AcuAce Med Health operates as a Business Associate (BA). A Business Associate is an entity that performs services on behalf of Covered Entities (CEs) involving the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI).
