HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule passed by Congress in 1996 provides federal protection for individually identifiable health information data and regulates patients’ rights.

At Innovative Risk Consulting (IRC), information privacy and security is a top priority. We work diligently to ensure all IRC customers and business partners who exchange data with our company are in full compliance with HIPAA regulations. Companywide, our systems and processes safeguard the confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI) when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared.
