HIPAA Statement

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, known as HIPAA, was signed into law in August of 1996. The administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA establish the standards for the electronic transmission of health care claims and other transactions and the procedures to be used to protect the confidentiality and security of medical records and other personal health information.

ASAP Medical Systems is committed to assisting both providers and payers in achieving HIPAA compliance by developing and providing electronic data interchange (EDI) products and solutions which meet the regulatory requirements for transactions, codes, and security. Our mission is to enable small and medium sized providers and payers with the most cost effective, easy to implement and direct HIPAA transaction tool possible. We don't believe that compliance should be complex or expensive.

Our products have been developed “from the ground up” by our in-house, industry experienced development team specifically for the purpose of allowing our customers to adhere to HIPAA EDI compliance rules NOW and easily remain in compliance in the future. ASAP Medical Systems will continue to monitor regulatory requirements and the marketplace to implement product enhancements as needed. We will communicate the availability of all software updates to partner with our customers in their ongoing HIPAA compliance efforts. In other words, we are providing a long-term, cost-effective solution rather than a “quick fix” for meeting the initial compliance deadlines.

Although we realize that it takes more than just installing some software to be fully HIPAA compliant, providers need vendors who are backing their products if they are ever going to be compliant themselves. ASAP Medical Systems products are HIPAA compliant in the areas we say they are, once configured and verified by partner testing. We conduct extensive testing, and if you do find any deficiencies in our products then tell us about it and we'll start fixing it the very same day..

If you have further question regarding the HIPAA compliance of any ASAP Medical Systems products or solutions, please feel free to contact us.



 

ASAP Medical Systems, Inc recognizes the confidential nature of patient medical records and utilizes 1024-bit encryption to ensure the privacy of your medical claims. There is currently no mandated national standard of encryption, and the encryption used is currently far in excess of encryption standards for secure transactions across the Internet or other communications lines. Should encryption standards be mandated or suggested by any agency or legislation having jurisdiction over medical records, then ASAP Medical Systems, Inc reserves the right to raise the standard of encryption to meet or exceed any standard set forth by the said agency or legislation.
