URAC's accreditation program verifies that an organization has implemented the necessary infrastructure, processes and procedures to comply with the HIPAA Security Rule.
URAC is a nonprofit organization that issues accreditation to health care organizations in all 50 states and Canada. URAC accreditation standards are recognized nationally as providing the benchmark for quality in managed care organizations. Because of the new federal HIPAA regulations, which went into effect April 21, 2005, URAC has tailored a program to meet the strict security guidelines.
"We are honored to receive accreditation from URAC," said Bryan Troyer, president of Benesight. "More of our customers are aware of HIPAA regulations and ask what we are doing to ensure their confidential and protected health information remains secure. Receiving accreditation from URAC gives them peace of mind when selecting us as their health plan administrator."
URAC HIPAA Security Accreditation enables health care organizations to display a commitment to information security. The accreditation program is designed to apply to all health care organizations subject to HIPAA (covered entities) and their business associates.
