About HIPAA compliance
To date, there is no governmental or independent consortium that verifies that software products are "HIPAA compliant," and so there is no such thing as HIPAA compliant software, per se. There are, however, HR practices and procedures that companies should adopt in order to comply with HIPAA regulations, and
Ascentis HR will support those efforts.
There are a number of areas in Ascentis HR that are related to HIPAA, including:
- HIPAA pre-existing conditions:
Ascentis HR contains the HIPAA Certificate of Coverage.
- HIPAA privacy and security:
Ascentis HR is designed to be very secure to help companies comply with privacy and security regulations.
- HIPAA administrative simplification:
Ascentis HR Carrier Connect is compliant with HIPAA administrative simplification by supporting electronic enrollment using the HIPAA 834 file specification.
Ultimately it is the responsibility of the
Ascentis HR user and the associated HR department to be compliant with HIPAA and other governmental regulations.
