HIPAA Compliance Documents

HIPAA, or “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act” of 1996 is a law, and the U.S. Department Of Health and Human Services created a set of rules that need to be followed in order to adhere to the law. Of course your company may have additional standards to comply with, so don't let this information override anything that your company may require.

Hi, probably our entry may be off topic but anyways, I have been surfing around your blog and it looks very professional. It’s obvious you know your topic and you appear fervent about it. I’m developing a fresh blog plus I’m struggling to make it look good, as well as offer the best quality content. I have learned much at your web site and also I anticipate alot more articles and will be coming back soon. Thanks you.
