Digital Marketing and HIPAA Compliance

At Digital Market Media, we take compliance very seriously. Many in our industry fail to consider how the HIPAA regulation impacts our business, but we do! Here we talk about HIPAA, its impact on our industry and how Digital Market Media protects our consumers and partners through our HIPAA compliance policy.  

The amount of information shared online has increased significantly giving businesses the ability to reach a broader customer base. In digital marketing, consumers enter their personal information to access additional information and/or services such as insurance products. There is an expectation of privacy and security afforded by federal and state laws and regulations to consumers’ online disclosures. Some of the information that consumers enter may be classified as protected health information (PHI). PHI is individually identifiable information such as name, address, date of birth and phone number. While this seems like general information, when provided in a health context or by means that may develop into a healthcare relationship, this same information is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

HIPAA is a federal law that requires the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge. This Privacy Rule ensures that individuals’ health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information by covered entities and business associates, which are organizations using or disclosing individually identifiable health information to provide services.

To ensure that consumer information is protected under HIPAA, Digital Market Media, Inc., as a potential business associate, has implemented compliance procedures to ensure that PHI is handled in accordance with corresponding regulations. As part of our compliance policy, all publishers and clients are vetted to ensure compliance with all federal and state regulations including HIPAA.

To implement this additional compliance, Digital Market Media utilizes the Compliancy Group’s proprietary platform: The Guard, which provides a robust library of staff and leadership training, policies and procedures, checklists, agreements, and ongoing compliance consulting. Our goal is to safeguard consumer information thereby enabling for consumers a transparent and secure process to inquire about health-related services.

In today’s litigious world, compliance has never been more critical. At Digital Market Media, we are leading the industry by transcending minimum compliance and paving the way for others to follow by including HIPAA in our compliance. We understand the importance of data privacy and are invested in prioritizing consumer protection in the online marketplace.
