COMPLIANCE & SECURITY

---

VCS operates in alignment with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable federal and state privacy regulations, ensuring our business solutions are compliant and secure. 

Our compliance practices include: 

- Secure handling of Protected Health Information (PHI) 

- Role-based access to patient data 

- Minimum necessary access principles 

- Ongoing staff training on privacy and confidentiality as part of our consulting services 

All team members are required to adhere to strict confidentiality standards as a condition of engagement, reflecting our commitment to effective strategy development.

VCS implements comprehensive administrative, technical, and operational safeguards as part of our business solutions, designed to protect patient data throughout the authorization lifecycle. Our consulting services emphasize security measures that include: secure login credentials and access controls, encrypted systems and protected platforms, controlled document storage and transmission, and secure communication channels with clinics and payers. Access to PHI is limited strictly to individuals involved in assigned workflows, ensuring a robust strategy development for data protection.

VCS enters into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with client practices as required. These agreements define responsibilities related to PHI handling, data security, and breach response, forming part of our comprehensive business solutions. 

Our Commitment

Compliance is not a checkbox; it is an ongoing responsibility. VCS continually evaluates its consulting services and processes to ensure that patient privacy, data security, and regulatory alignment remain uncompromised while assisting clients in effective strategy development.

VCS does not engage in: Unauthorized access to systems, data scraping or unsafe automation, or the replacement of licensed clinical judgment with AI. While technology may assist workflows and enhance business solutions, human oversight remains central to all authorization processes, ensuring that our consulting services and strategy development prioritize ethical standards.
