HIPAA & data security

HIPAA compliance built into every workflow

AccuMed BPO protects PHI with documented policies, workforce training, access controls, and incident readiness — so your billing partnership stays aligned with Privacy and Security Rule expectations.

Our commitment

Protecting PHI is part of how we operate

As a business associate supporting U.S. healthcare providers, AccuMed BPO maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards around protected health information. Our program is guided by written policies, recurring training, risk analysis, and clear escalation paths.

Documented policies

Privacy, security, access, retention, and vendor controls are defined in writing and reviewed on a scheduled cadence.

Least-privilege access

Role-based permissions, password standards, and device controls limit PHI access to authorized workforce members.

Incident readiness

Incident response, breach notification procedures, and an incident log support timely containment and reporting.
