In 1996 Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The purpose of this Act was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through the development of established health data standards and requirements for the transmission and storage of electronic health information. HIPAA is the first national regulation on medical privacy and is the most far-reaching federal legislation affecting the use, release and transmission of medical data.

MTTEK services have been designed to fully comply with HIPAA requirements. We have administrative procedures in place to guard data integrity, patient confidentiality, and document availability.
