Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

Illumant's team of healthcare consultants brings years of experience to help your organization with the challenges of HIPAA compliance.

Broadly speaking, HIPAA rules can be divided into 3 areas:

• Privacy

  - HIPAA sets out the commitment that payers must make with respect to the gathering, safe-guarding, and disclosure of protected health information (PHI). Because the business processes change and data security evolve a constant commitment to maintaining and updating controls over PHI is required. The regulator landscape is also continually evolving and main regulations overlap, e.g. HIPAA, GLBA, state privacy acts. Illumant has the expertise to help your organization stay on top of these changes and update privacy practices.

• Security

  - Illumant can help your organization design and implement controls to ensure privacy requirements are met. Illumant leverages years of control design, documentation, testing and maintenance. We have developed a Control Activity Manager (CAM) to help organizations monitor and remediate their compliance efforts.

• Transactions

  - Standardization of electronic data exchange is meant to streamline the process and reduce costs. Too often there has been very little benefit realized. Illumant can help your organization redesign and improve business processes to take full advantage of new standardized transactions and to see cost savings.

Illumant understands that each healthcare organization faces unique issues. We lookforward to lending our experience to solve your problems.
