Rehmann Receives HIPAA Seal of Compliance from Compliancy Group™
Rehmann is pleased to announce that it has taken all necessary steps to prove its good faith effort to achieve compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Through the use of Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA solution, The Guard™, Rehmann can track its compliance program and has earned its Seal of Compliance™. The Seal of Compliance is issued to organizations that have implemented an effective HIPAA compliance program through use of The Guard.
“Showing clients that we understand and comply with HIPAA requirements and are qualified to handle PHI is a differentiator for the Firm,” said Rehmann CEO Randy Rupp. “Exhibiting unwavering integrity is one of our core values because our internal and external clients trust us with the most confidential details of their business and personal lives.”
HIPAA is made up of a set of regulatory standards governing the security, privacy, and integrity of sensitive healthcare data called protected health information (PHI). PHI is any individually identifiable healthcare-related information. If vendors who service healthcare clients come into contact with PHI in any way, those vendors must be HIPAA compliant.
Rehmann has completed Compliancy Group’s Implementation Program, adhering to the necessary regulatory standards outlined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, Omnibus Rule, and HITECH. Compliancy Group has verified Rehmann’s good faith effort to achieve HIPAA compliance through The Guard.
Clients and patients are becoming more aware of HIPAA compliance requirements and how the regulation protects their personal information. Forward-thinking providers like Rehmann choose the Seal of Compliance to differentiate their services.
