Log Files
ParaMed Billing follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, ParaMed Billing uses ‘cookies’. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.
HIPAA Compliance
At ParaMed Billing, we’re experts in navigating the complexities of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. We take the privacy and security of your Protected Health Information (PHI) and electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) very seriously, ensuring they’re only shared with authorized parties like doctors, billing services, employees, clearinghouses, and insurers. This happens only after a Business Associate Agreement is in place, securing a promise of confidentiality.
Additionally, in situations involving other individuals, such as lawyers or family members of the patient, we disclose PHI only after receiving explicit authorization from the patient.
Since HIPAA was introduced in August 1996, it has significantly raised the bar for healthcare standards by enforcing strict data protection measures. At our company, we handle your personally identifiable information (PII) related to PHI in strict accordance with these standards. Here’s a closer look at how we manage your PII:
- We share your PII only as the HIPAA guidelines allow, mostly for treatment and billing reasons
- Sometimes, we might need to disclose it for audit purposes or in urgent circumstances.
- We always follow federal and state laws when it comes to storing medical information.
- We promise not to share your information with third parties, ensuring the highest levels of confidentiality and integrity of your data.
