HIPAA Compliant EDI Solutions
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 was passed to protect an individual’s rights to privacy in regards to healthcare matters, including the sharing of personal information via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
The Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies monitor and establish national standards for EDI healthcare transactions along with identifiers for health care providers, health plans, and employers. Issues relating to security of health data are also covered.
The adoption of HIPAA standards is expected to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our nation’s healthcare system by encouraging the widespread use of EDI in the healthcare field. At A&G Healthcare Services we fully support/ recognize these standards and regulations.
We are a healthcare industry leader in the provision of out-of-area/ network claims, negotiated discounts, bill reviews, audit services, and healthcare funding.
