Mitigating Cyber Attack Exposure and Disruption with HiPaaS
Safeguarding Healthcare Data Exchange in the Wake of the Change Healthcare Incident
The recent data security breach at Change Healthcare underscores the vulnerabilities associated with centralized healthcare data exchanges, commonly known as clearinghouses. These clearinghouses play a crucial role in routing revenue data between healthcare providers and payers. With over 1 million providers sending data to more than 2,000 insurance companies, these platforms aggregate, connect, and route revenue data, which was once necessary due to the high volume of daily file exchanges and numerous connection points.
At HiPaaS, we address these challenges by providing integrated Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solutions. Our approach eliminates the need for third-party clearinghouses, enabling direct and seamless data exchange between providers and payers. HiPaaS offers a robust and scalable solution that can be deployed within your security firewall and chosen private cloud (Azure, AWS, Oracle, etc.) or on-premise at your data center.
HiPaaS Solutions for Enhanced Security and Efficiency
Direct Data Exchange and Interoperability
HiPaaS RCM products support both traditional EDI connections and modern FHIR and CMS Interoperability APIs. Providers can:
Utilize FHIR APIs: Invoke secure API services provided by payers, eliminating the need for file exchanges and enhancing data security.
Leverage Point-to-Point EDI: Directly exchange data with high-traffic payers in your region, using clearinghouses only for a small percentage of connectivity exceptions.
Our EDI and FHIR API solutions help insurance companies move away from traditional EDI, embracing FHIR for revenue transactions such as eligibility, prior authorization, claims, and claim payments. HiPaaS’s EDI and FHIR CMS API products are widely adopted by leading insurance companies today.
