Comfort Zone Counseling Achieves HIPAA Compliance with Compliancy Group

Comfort Zone Counseling, a Jackson, MI-based mental health therapist office, has recently been confirmed as having achieved compliance with the regulatory standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and has an effective HIPAA compliance program in place to ensure continued compliance.

Mental health therapy providers are required to comply with the standards and implementation specifications of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, Omnibus Rule, and the HITECH Act. To ensure no aspect of compliance was overlooked, Comfort Zone Counseling partnered with Compliancy Group and followed its proven HIPAA compliance methodology, tracking progress on its compliance journey using Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA compliance tracking software solution, The Guard.

After completing a six-stage risk analysis and remediation process, Comfort Zone Counseling’s good faith effort to achieve compliance was assessed by Compliancy Group’s HIPAA compliance experts, who determined that Comfort Zone Counseling had achieved HIPAA compliance and awarded the company the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.

The HIPAA Seal of Compliance is issued to organizations that have implemented an effective HIPAA compliance program through the use of The Guard.
