HIPAA-aligned Checklist for Billing Teams

A practical HIPAA checklist for RCM staff handling PHI across claims, portals, EOBs, and patient billing.

HIPAAPHISecurity

Billing teams touch PHI every day

Eligibility portals, claim files, EOBs, and patient statements all carry protected health information.

Use role-based access, unique logins, and automatic session timeouts for every billing workstation.

Secure the handoffs

Encrypt email attachments with PHI, and prefer secure portals for payer correspondence.

Train staff annually on minimum necessary standards, phishing risks, and breach reporting timelines.

Outsource with confidence

AccuMed BPO operates with HIPAA-aligned processes so practices can outsource billing and eligibility without guessing at vendor controls.
