First of all, internet is still a relatively new tool which many Americans are still getting hang of, especially as generations go back further. Rest assured, submitting an electronic medical claim is secure. With advance of online technology comes advance on online security. The electronic billing software enables back ups as well as security clearance so that only authorized viewers have access to electronic medical claim records. Compliance The servers use HIPAA compliant software with each claim, assuring additional security and responsiveness throughout claim cycle. In addition to maintaining HIPAA compliance, electronic medical claim software complies with HCFA 1500 guidelines. Everything transmitted over internet meets same compliance standards as manual claim system.
