American Association for Medical Transcription and Safety Send Form HIPAA Business Partnership as Deadline Nears

Safety Send is HIPAA compliance for professional transcription business associates without the associated risk of typical software for a single computer. No other system allows real time compliance updates, global access and meets HIPAA regulatory requirements of electronic transfer of PHI under HIPAA § 164.306 Security Standards for transcription.

(PRWEB) April 9, 2005 -- AAMT and Safety Send have formed a Business Partnership to meet the demands of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Until now, typical Covered Entities and professional business associates in transcription and others have been forced to employ expensive and convoluted methods to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

In an interview with HIPAA News, Safety Send Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Michael Sharp, said, "Not a single solution has addressed the needs of the typical health care professional as SafetySend has done. Our practice level solution SafetySend(TM) system does exactly what it is designed to do. Protect our clients."

Safety Send Inc. Chief Information Officer, Shawn Fry, said, "Our clients don't have a dedicated IT department and don't need one. Our real time compliance technology responds immediately and gets the job done."

Safety Send Inc. operates three divisions. SafetySend, Virsecure and Versecure to provide highly secure Internet communications with protection against virus and spam invasion to individuals, medical professionals and corporate clients. SafetySend(TM) provides compliance to the Health Insurance Portability Act (HIPAA) for medical clients plus the same level of virus and spam defense as other operating groups.
