Teraleads works directly with dental implant practices and may, in the course of providing services, handle Protected Health Information (“PHI”). When we do, we operate as a Business Associate as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).
Business Associate Agreements
We sign a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) with every client whose engagement involves access to PHI. The BAA defines our obligations to safeguard PHI consistent with HIPAA and the HITECH Act.
Safeguards
We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect PHI, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, audit logging, regular security reviews, and employee training.
Sub-processors
Where we use third-party sub-processors that may handle PHI, we ensure they are also contractually bound to HIPAA-compliant safeguards.
Breach notification
In the unlikely event of a breach affecting PHI, we will notify the affected client as required by HIPAA and applicable law.
