MedLab Clinical Laboratory is fully committed to compliance with all HIPAA privacy, security, and electronic information requirements.

MedLab Clinical Laboratory has always maintained policies and procedures to ensure compliance with patient confidentiality requirements including MedLab’s own high standards regarding patient confidentiality. HIPAA compliance efforts involve formal inventory, analysis, updating, and documentation of all systems and procedures covered by the several HIPAA regulations.

MedLab Clinical Laboratory commits that all aspects of its services will be compliant with HIPAA requirements prior to each HIPAA effective date with sufficient time permitted for our clients to confirm compliance. This is particularly important since both MedLab and our clients are “covered entities” under HIPAA that each has independent compliance responsibilities. MedLab will ensure that all aspects of its services comply with HIPAA to the extent independent HIPAA compliance by MedLab is possible. Additionally, all services provided by MedLab will be done in a manner that enables HIPAA compliance by our clients to the extent the services involve joint compliance requirements or independent requirements applicable to our clients as “covered entities”. Obviously, MedLab can not assure that individual clients will meet their independent responsibilities under HIPAA; however, we are committed to sharing information and coordinating efforts towards the goal that our clients will be fully compliant with HIPAA.

All systems will comply with HIPAA requirements as to independent performance or capability of the system, including, but not limited to functionality, security, privacy and encryption.
