HIPAA & Data Privacy

Omega Revenue Care understands the importance of protecting sensitive healthcare information and maintaining appropriate privacy and security practices when providing medical billing, revenue cycle management, A/R recovery, credentialing, practice management, and laboratory billing services.

Our Commitment

When Omega Revenue Care performs services that involve Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of a healthcare organization, we recognize our responsibilities under applicable HIPAA requirements.

HHS identifies organizations performing billing, claims processing, and certain practice-management functions involving PHI as potential business associates.

Business Associate Agreements

Where HIPAA requires a Business Associate Agreement ("BAA"), Omega Revenue Care will enter into an appropriate written agreement with the applicable covered entity.

A BAA generally establishes the permitted uses and disclosures of PHI and requires appropriate safeguards for the information.

Protection of PHI

Depending on the services provided, information handled by Omega Revenue Care may include information necessary for:

  • Claims processing
  • Medical billing
  • Payment activities
  • A/R follow-up
  • Eligibility and benefits verification
  • Practice management
  • Revenue cycle management
  • Other healthcare administrative functions

We limit the use and disclosure of PHI to purposes permitted by applicable law and contractual agreements.

Website Forms

Our public Website is primarily intended for general business inquiries.

Please do not submit patient medical records, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, treatment information, or other PHI through a standard Website contact form unless Omega Revenue Care has provided a secure method specifically intended for that information.

Data Security

Omega Revenue Care maintains reasonable safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No electronic system or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Important Notice

This Website privacy statement does not replace a healthcare provider's Notice of Privacy Practices or a Business Associate Agreement.

HIPAA obligations depend on the specific relationship, services, information involved, and applicable law. HHS notes that business associates are directly subject to certain HIPAA requirements and that written business-associate arrangements establish permitted uses and required safeguards.
