KDOVE HIPAA COMPLIANCE 

As a reputable medical billing company, MBC follows the patient information privacy and security rules very stringently. All members of our billing and coding consortium, transcription teams, as well as our workforce and business affiliates comply with HIPAA regulations and the KDOVE HIPAA policies.

We, at KDOVE ensure that our work procedures vis-à-vis all clients comply with or even exceed HIPAA guidelines and regulations and have made necessary arrangements to protect Patient Health Information (PHI). Any member of our team who deals closely with patient health information is provided training about the privacy and security procedures to be adopted to handle the patient health data. Moreover, this information is disclosed to no one except our clients who are authorized to receive this information and employees who are working on the client's account.

We are liable to ensure complete HIPAA compliance for our clients if the operations are handled by us. However, in case the client chooses to go with a local agency connected through us, the HIPAA compliance responsibility is shouldered by the local agency. We shall provide the HIPAA guidelines, but in case of a breach the local agency must be held responsible.

The implementation of HIPAA standards has led to an enhanced use of electronic data interchange.
