The team at HealthMe is pleased to announce a significant milestone of achieving System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) certification and accreditation. This signifies that our platform, systems and processes meet or exceed the rigorous standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) with respect to information security. Over 2,200 specialty physicians and their practices depend on HealthMe to offer transparently priced healthcare bundles to direct-pay patients and employers, while simplifying the consumer experience and payments for over 30,000 episodes of care in the past 12 months.
“Healthcare is such a highly regulated industry and information security is particularly critical to both HealthMe, and our clients’ success. Achieving SOC 2 compliance is another step towards better serving patients and physicians.” states Michael Havig, MD, Founder and CEO at HealthMe.
SOC 2 is a technical auditing process led by independent third-party auditors who measure the security of an organization’s unique data processing systems and evaluate how effective the safeguards and controls that organization has in place. HealthMe partnered with the Johanson Group, who helped us go above and beyond the minimum requirements for SOC 2 by integrating our systems to monitor compliance to the SOC 2 framework around the clock and not just during the audit window.
CTO Ryan Nuzacci adds, “At HealthMe we are dedicated to ensuring the trust and security of our operations which extends to every single patient interaction with the platform. SOC 2 certification tells our clients we prioritize data security.”
Dora Pozuc, Director of Care Navigation at Patient Choice Health, a client of HealthMe’s care navigation platform for self-insured employers emphasizes the importance of data security: “The employers we work with have high expectations regarding data security in healthcare, and HealthMe meets and exceeds those standards for us and our clients.”
HealthMe is a digital platform that connects patients, doctors, and employers to transparently priced healthcare and is committed to continuously improve data security for its growing ecosystem of clients and partners in the direct specialty care and self-insured employer space.
