How does Medal cope with HIPAA requirements and limitations?

Where is Medal based? (I assume Boston, but the web page has no location info.)

Medal is both HIPAA compliant and security-forward.

Medal works with one of the authors of HIPAA to ensure that we meet all current legislation and a security expert to ensure that we meet the highest standards of trusted data management. Furthermore, Medal goes above and beyond to create an environment of transparency (for example, we rewrite our releases in plain language).

Medal is based in San Francisco, but we perform installations nationwide.

If you would like to discuss an installation, please contact us at info@getmedal.com
