The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is a United States privacy rule that mandates “covered entities” to protect your confidential healthcare information. The most common examples of these entities are doctors, healthcare providers, insurance companies, or clinics.

All governed entities must adhere to this privacy rule when storing or sharing confidential healthcare information with other “covered entities.” These institutions may never share this data with a third party that does not also satisfy the conditions for HIPAA certification and compliance.

ZeroBounce attained HIPAA privacy certification in August of 2023 after successfully satisfying all examination requirements in accordance with guidelines established by the AICPA for the reporting standard SOC 2 plus HIPAA Type 2.

This certification grants ZeroBounce the ability to work with these “covered entities” described above. ZeroBounce will continue to take the necessary steps to adhere to HIPAA privacy standards and renew its HIPAA certification when applicable.
