How does Praxamed protect patient data?

Patient data in Praxamed is protected with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit. We implement role-based access controls, comprehensive audit logging, session management with automatic timeouts, and multi-factor authentication support.

What are my practice's responsibilities for HIPAA compliance?

HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility. Praxamed provides HIPAA-ready technical infrastructure, but your practice is responsible for administrative safeguards including: designating a HIPAA Privacy and Security Officer, conducting annual risk assessments, training staff on HIPAA requirements, maintaining written policies and procedures, and having a documented breach response plan. Technology alone does not make a practice HIPAA compliant.

Does Praxamed disclose patient data to third parties?

Praxamed does not sell or share PHI for marketing or research purposes. PHI is shared only as directed by the practice (e.g., clearinghouse submission for insurance claims) or as required by law. We maintain data processing agreements with all subprocessors that handle PHI.

Security Incident & Breach Notification

In the event of a security incident affecting PHI, Praxamed will notify affected practices in accordance with HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule, which requires notification to affected individuals and HHS within 60 days of discovery.
