Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act


        In 1996 Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The purpose of this Act was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through the development of established health data standards and requirements for the transmission and storage of electronic health information. SW Transcription's website, services, policies and procedures have been designed to comply with HIPAA requirements. We use 128 bit encryption to ensure that your data is safeguarded. We secure our website using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption which will meet or exceed HIPAA requirements.
