Your complete HIPAA compliance and SRA guide
Everything you need to achieve HIPAA compliance — Privacy Rule, Security Rule,
Breach Notification, and BAAs. Expert guidance for healthcare IT and BPO
companies in India serving US clients, with a documented Security Risk
Assessment that satisfies OCR audit requirements.
What is HIPAA?
The US federal law protecting patient health information
Understanding HIPAA, who it applies to, and why it is mandatory for Indian healthcare IT companies serving US clients.
Critical for Indian healthcare IT and BPO companies: If your organisation in India handles Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of US healthcare clients, you are a Business
Associate under HIPAA — and HIPAA applies to you regardless of where you are located. Non- compliance carries penalties of up to $1.5M per violation category per year and can disqualified from US healthcare contracts.
