HITRUST i1 Certification - Secure Medical Billing

What Does HITRUST Cover?
HITRUST maintains a common security framework (CSF) by harmonizing all healthcare information security compliance standards.
A HITRUST CSF certification is valid for two years and is only awarded after careful assessment, validation and approval, which includes on-site visits. A HITRUST CSF certification allows organizations to follow all HIPPA security compliance standards while painlessly transitioning and evolving into better protocols for patient information management.
All security requirements from multiple regulations are brought together in one central location for tracking compliance, saving organizations both time and money. Requiring outsourcing partners to maintain a HITRUST Certification showcases a provider’s commitment to the security of patients’ sensitive personal and medical information.

Secure Medical Billing
HITRUST transformed healthcare compliance. When it comes to third-party vendors handling Protected Health Information (PHI) and other sensitive data, a business associate agreement or confidentiality agreement is not enough. Healthcare providers rely on third-party vendors to perform key services involving the exchange of sensitive information. With the rise of digital billing systems, ensuring private information is safe with a partner or outsourced vendor is more important than ever. Since 2016, we provided our clients’ billing systems with the most extensive and comprehensive assurance by maintaining a HITRUST certification and a secure medical billing process.
