HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which uniformly regulates the exchange of confidential patient data via electronic means in order to shield patients from unlawful disclosure and release of their medical information. The Act was passed by Congress in 1996 with 2002 being the first year where compliance was mandated. HIPAA mandates the highest available level of security in the storage and transfer of such information. All parties handling patient information must meet HIPAA compliance.

HIPAA compliance should be an essential component you seek when shopping around for a medical transcription company. Confidentiality is vital when it comes to patient information and only a HIPAA compliant company can ensure that any information you dictate is safe and protected.
