HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA, is a US federal law that protects sensitive patient health information ("PHI") from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge. Companies that handle any form of PHI must ensure the necessary security protocols are in place and being followed.

Business Associate Agreement

If you are a Covered Entity and if AVOXI will handle or process e-PHI, then AVOXI will provide a HIPAA-compliant business associate agreement ("BAA") at the start of the service.


External Storage Solutions

For those customers utilizing our unlimited call recording, AVOXI now provides a HIPAA compliant way to store and access these recordings. External storage solutions help support compliance and provide peace of mind to those responsible for handling personally identifiable health information. Call recordings containing PHI can be externally stored and managed directly on your own secure server. This flexible solution is currently available for those customers using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
