EDBS Dental Billing Solutions Verified as HIPAA Compliant

Compliancy Group has recently verified that EDBS Dental Billing Solutions is fully compliant with all appropriate provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Rules and the HITECH Act.

EDBS Dental Billing Solutions provides billing services to dental practices in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, and across the United States. The company’s remote dental insurance and claims billing, dental patient billing, and dental insurance verifications solutions ease the burden on dental front office staff by helping them deal with the intricacies of insurance billing and the challenging task of collecting patient bills.

The services provided naturally require EDBS Dental Billing Solutions to come into contact with the protected health information of dental patients, which makes EDBS Dental Billing Solutions a business associate under HIPAA. Achieving and maintaining HIPAA compliance can be challenging for business associates, which is why many choose to work with a third-party compliance company. By partnering with compliance experts they can ensure that no requirements of HIPAA are overlooked.

EDBS Dental Billing Solutions partnered with Compliancy Group and used the company’s proprietary HIPAA methodology to ensure complete compliance, tracking progress on the compliance journey by using Compliancy Group’s compliance software – The Guard. Through the use of the software, EDBS Dental Billing Solutions was able to methodically ensure complete compliance with all appropriate provisions and implementation specifications of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Omnibus Rules, and the HITECH Act.
