The act, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on Aug. 21, 1996, contains five sections, or titles:  - **Title I:** HIPAA Health Insurance Reform - **Title II:** HIPAA Administrative Simplification - **Title III:** HIPAA Tax-Related Health Provisions - **Title IV:** Application and Enforcement of Group Health Plan Requirements - **Title V:** Revenue Offsets In the context of online marketing, adhering to HIPAA Title II is what most people mean when they refer to HIPAA compliance. --- ## **What is HIPAA Title II?** Also known as the Administrative Simplification provisions, Title II includes the following HIPAA compliance requirements: - **National Provider Identifier Standard:** Each healthcare entity, including individuals, employers, health plans and healthcare providers, must have a unique 10-digit national provider identifier number, or NPI. - **Transactions and Code Set Standard:** Healthcare organizations must follow a standardized mechanism for electronic data interchange (EDI) in order to submit and process insurance claims. - **HIPAA Privacy Rule:** Officially known as the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, this rule establishes national standards to protect patient health information. - **HIPAA Security Rule:** The Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information sets standards for patient data security. - **HIPAA Enforcement Rule:** This rule establishes guidelines for investigations into HIPAA compliance violations. The two requirements that apply to the relationship between GHL Customer Care, a customer Agency, and the agency's client (the Practice) are the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule. The details of each of these rules can be found here: - [HIPAA Privacy Rule](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html) - [HIPAA Security Rule](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/laws-regulations/index.html) --- ## **Key Benefits of the HIPAA Compliance Package** - **Agency‑wide enablement:** HIPAA safeguards apply to your entire agency once activated. - **BAA included:** A signed Business Associate Agreement is provided as part of the package. - **Explicit consent at checkout:** Mandatory confirmations reduce confusion and ensure intentional activation. - **Transparent pricing:** Clear confirmation of **$297/month** before payment. - **Streamlined payment selection:** Add or choose a payment method directly in the purchase modal. - **Permanent activation:** The package cannot be canceled, refunded, removed, or downgraded once enabled. - **Editable BAA signer details:** Update signer information directly within GHL Customer Care Documents & Contracts without contacting support. - **Automatic HIPAA activation:** HIPAA compliance is enabled automatically once the BAA is signed — no manual activation required. --- ## **GHL Customer Care Compliance** In the relationship between GHL Customer Care, a customer Agency, and the agency's client (the Practice); the Practice is considered "the HIPAA-covered entity" and GHL Customer Care and the Agency are considered "HIPAA Business Associates".  GHL Customer Care has worked with The Compliancy Group consultancy to ensure that we are in full compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule so that we can enter into HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with our customer Agencies.  In order for the personal health record data of your client Practice's patients to be completely protected, however; your Agency must also be in full compliance with HIPAA Title II so that you can provide your client Practice with a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement as well.  Please reach out to us if you would like the contact information of The Compliancy Group which can help you ensure that your Agency is fully compliant.  --- ## **Security** **IMPORTANT:** Agencies on Any Plan  (**$97, $970, $297, $2970, $497, $4970**) can subscribe to HIPAA compliance.  Our database automatically encrypts all data before it is written to disk.
