Online data storage and HIPAA
(1/1)
gupta123:
Is it legal or HIPAA compliant to have online storage of your billing data to protect against any accidental loss? Any ideas how to keep this data safe and secure? Thanks.
Michele:
It is legal as long as the company that you use is compliant and meets all HIPAA standards for protection of PHI.

I was planning to use MozyHome online data storage service. They charge about $5.00 a month.

I think your better off using a company that has a brand for medical offices, for example Efax has a branded application for secure transmission specifically for healthcare to ensure HIPAA compliance. Rememeber HIPAA guidelines with BAA's.. so don't go with a company that can't ASSURE you of HIPAA compliance.
I'm not completely trusting of online storage..(my own quirk..not passing judgement) but I found a few online by typing in HIPAA compliant data storage, one that popped up a bit was this one: http://www.globaldatavault.com/hipaa.htm
