Hey while your right, the storing of IP addresses does require HIPAA compliancy, it can be solved with a simple SSL certificate and acknowledgement of nothing being stored.

Procedure codes are an alternative method of inputting bills into the database, as sometimes procedure names are too lengthy. Every bill has either: CPT, HCPCS, or ICD code, all of which are non identifying, and unique to each procedure/diagnosis.

Thanks for your concern though and please email me if you want to continue discussing: [e-mail]
