HIPAA Compliant Answering Service

The way Electronic Protected Health Information is handled is crucial for your medical practice. Ambs Call Center's HIPAA compliant answering service makes sure your practice and its patients information remains secure 24/7.

The Importance of HIPAA Compliance

For those in the healthcare industry, meeting the privacy expectations of HIPAA is a primary concern, both legally and ethically. A HIPAA compliant phone answering service is critical.

At Ambs Call Center, we share your concern and have taken extra measures to go beyond the standard expectations of securing your patients’ PHI (Protected Health Information).

We stand behind you, the CE (covered entity), as your trustworthy BA (business associate) to ensure you’re in compliance with HIPAA regulations.

Why Ambs Call Center's Medical Answering Service

We take every step to make sure you meet HIPAA requirements and your patients’ expectations in the way we answer patient calls, handle information, and send data to you.

Not every medical answering service can say this, but Ambs Call Center can.
