Adhering to security programs reviewed by legal counsel, Photo-Stat safeguarded patient confidentiality even before the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. To ensure compliance with HIPAA requirements, the Photo-Stat Quality Assurance Department was created.

When HIPAA went into effect in April 2003, Photo-Stat had already completed the education, research, and certification necessary to ensure that all Photo-Stat operations systems were compliant.

As developed by the Department of Health and Human Service, HIPAA initial standards pertained only to electronic health care transactions. Photo-Stat complied with these transaction standards. Subsequently, the Final Privacy Rule mandated compliance with "all uses of individually identifiable health information". Photo-Stat achieved and has maintained compliance.

Photo-Stat's proactive adherence to the changing landscape of patient privacy is indicative of our commitment to excellence. Photo-Stat's QA department constantly monitors the evolving complex HIPAA requirements and adjusts operational procedures accordingly.
