Why is Inter-County securing email?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that covered entities such as Inter-County take additional measures to protect the privacy and security of PHI, which is information – such as name, address, or social security number – that identifies a person in relation to their health status or health information. Prior to the HIPAA regulation, Inter-County instituted technical controls and business practices designed to protect PHI.
