HIPAA

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is the US federal law governing the privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI). The Privacy Rule restricts uses and disclosures of PHI; the Security Rule mandates administrative, technical, and physical safeguards; the Breach Notification Rule requires notification when unsecured PHI is compromised. Software vendors that process PHI must sign Business Associate Agreements with covered entities. Navix is HIPAA compliant.
