Medical Spa HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA Compliance for Med Spas

If you transfer medical information online you should be adhering to proper Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rules. Every Medical Spa, clinic, and healthcare provider transfers or collects personal information. Med Spas could face severe fines from the government for failing to protect personal health information (PHI).
