Reviewed August 2026

Key considerations

  • Billing organizations may handle substantial PHI across claims, denials, calls, documents, and exports.
  • Access should fit billing roles and support the intended task.
  • Clearinghouses, practice systems, and subcontractors should be inventoried.

Starting points

  • Map intake, claims, exports, calls, and retention.
  • Review BAAs, access reviews, call recording, and secure transmission.
  • Practice a misdirected claim or compromised account response.
