Let's take a walk down memory lane to before the Affordable Care Act was signed into Law, when individual and family rates were approximately 1/3 of the cost of employer-sponsored coverage.
At that time, PA had safety net plans that would cover those that couldn't obtain employer-sponsored coverage, or for those that were rejected from traditional individual plans. These plans were guaranteed issue and cheaper than the coverage available today.
There's rarely a week that goes by where I don't get a call from one of our agent partners asking, "How do I protect myself from hackers and compliance violations?"
These are important questions that should be asked by everyone who handles Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to ensure HIPAA compliance. Don't worry, you don't have to be a security expert to keep you and your client's personal data safe.
