HIPAA requires IT Service Providers to be HIPAA Compliant
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a very complex set of regulations and requirements governing how covered entities (doctor offices, health organizations, hospitals, etc.) protect and manage protected health information (PHI). Traditionally, when we discuss HIPAA, we instantly think about the compliance requirements placed on covered entities.

A lesser known portion of the law requires any party that possesses or accesses a HIPAA covered entity’s PHI to comply and safeguard data to the same standards as the covered entity. In layman’s terms, IT service providers must comply with HIPAA.
