Are you a healthcare provider that’s interested in outsourcing your print and mail needs? If so, it is extremely important that the print and mail company you select is HIPAA compliant.
First, let’s talk about what HIPAA means to you and your customers. HIPAA refers to The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The main goal of the HIPAA act is to protect the privacy of individuals’ health information.
In order to ensure your customers’ privacy, you should partner with a print and mail company that is HIPAA compliant. Not only that, the company should specialize in hospital and physician services medical billing statements.
HIPAA compliant print and mail companies can help you provide your customers with one or all of the documents listed below:
- Historical Data Printing and Mail
- Medical billing service
- Explanation of Benefits
Unfortunately, not all print and mail companies have the same standards. Along with selecting one that has the service and technology to make your statement printing and mailing a seamless end-to-end process, below are some more questions you should ask before making a decision:
- Will outsourcing save time and/or money?
- What quality control measures are in place?
- What is unique about this outsourcer?
- If your company grows, can the print and mail outsources accommodate you?
