Neurology MIND Care PLLC Confirmed as HIPAA Compliant

Neurology MIND Care PLLC, a private practice in Merrick, NY that specializes in cognitive behavioral neurology and dementia consultations, has recently been confirmed as having an effective HIPAA compliance program by Compliancy Group.

The healthcare services provided by Neurology MIND Care naturally involve contact with patients’ identifiable protected health information, which requires compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Omnibus Rules.

“We take patient privacy seriously and strive to uphold the highest standards that all patients deserve”, said Mariel B. Deutsch, MD, owner of Neurology MIND Care PLLC.  “By demonstrating my commitment to patient privacy, I hope that patients and their families will feel more comfortable sharing their cognitive and behavioral health concerns, knowing their confidentiality will be protected.”

Compliancy Group offers a HIPAA compliance methodology that has been proven to make compliance with the requirements of the HIPAA Rules and HITECH Act straightforward for HIPAA-regulated entities. Compliancy Group offers a proprietary HIPAA compliance software solution – The Guard – to guide HIPAA-regulated entities through their journey toward compliance, including conducting a 6-stage risk analysis and remediation process to address all risks and vulnerabilities to electronic protected health information.
