Continuous Regulatory Oversight
Healthcare compliance is not a once-a-year checklist at CodesForMD; it is embedded into our daily automated testing, CI/CD code deployments, and infrastructure telemetry. Our systems undergo rigorous continuous audits by independent accredited CPA firms and healthcare risk assessors.
1. HIPAA & HITECH Act Statutory Alignment
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act govern our processing of Protected Health Information:
- HIPAA Privacy Rule: We ensure that PHI is accessed only for permitted treatment, payment, and healthcare operations, or as explicitly authorized by patients under 45 CFR Part 164, Subpart E.
- HIPAA Security Rule: Comprehensive technical, administrative, and physical safeguards under 45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C, including end-to-end encryption, automatic workstation timeouts, and multi-factor authentication.
- HIPAA Breach Notification Rule: Stringent notification protocols requiring immediate escalation to Covered Entities in the event of an unauthorized acquisition or disclosure under 45 CFR §§ 164.400–414.
- Standard Business Associate Agreement: Fully vetted, ready-to-sign legal agreement incorporating HITECH omnibus requirements.
2. SOC 2 Type II Independent Examination
CodesForMD completes annual System and Organization Controls (SOC 2) Type II examinations conducted in accordance with AT-C Section 205 (SOC 2) established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

4. ONC 21st Century Cures Act & FHIR Interoperability
Under the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) 21st Century Cures Act, healthcare organizations are legally mandated to facilitate open interoperability and eliminate information blocking:
