COMPLIANCE WITH
THE U.S. HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996
MEMOTEXT and its partners realize that our
clients, all of whom are healthcare sector stakeholders
(pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, pharmacies,
etc.), must comply with all aspects of confidentiality
with respect to patient data.
As a general rule, MEMOTEXT programs do
require patients to provide personal health information.
As such, MEMOTEXT has taken steps to ensure its compliance
with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) requirements.
As a matter of course, MEMOTEXT practices
with respect to a User’s personal health information
are in compliance with the HIPAA given the nature of our
business which is to provide services
that may enable our clients to use electronic means to
collect, use, modify, disclose, retain or dispose of personal
health information.
MEMOTEXT ensures that
all employees and any other person acting on our behalf
understands and complies with the HIPAA restrictions that
apply to technology service providers who collect personal
health information.
