HIPAA COMPLIANCE & DATA SECURITY STATEMENT

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Regulatory Status & Business Associate Framework

Prior Authorization Solutions LLC ("PAS") operates strictly as a Business Associate as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and their implementing regulations. PAS establishes formal Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all Covered Entities (healthcare providers, clinics, and health systems) prior to the transmission, ingestion, or processing of Protected Health Information (PHI).

2. Technical Safeguards & Data Encryption

PAS enforces institutional-grade technical controls to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI):

Data Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted to and from the pas-us.co platform is encrypted using transport layer security protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) to prevent interception.

Data Encryption at Rest: All stored PHI, patient metrics, and clinical tracking logs are secured using advanced encryption standards (AES-256) at the database layer.

Access Control & Identity Verification: Access to any patient or clinical data payload is restricted via role-based access controls (RBAC) and enforced through multi-factor authentication (MFA).

3. Administrative and Physical Safeguards

Workforce Compliance: All PAS operational personnel, clinical auditors, and technical contractors undergo mandatory, recurring HIPAA compliance and data security training.

Data Minimization: PAS minimizes the retention of PHI to the absolute minimum duration required to execute prior authorization clearances and verify revenue integrity metrics.

Infrastructure Security: All data infrastructure utilized by PAS is hosted within secure, SOC 2 Type II certified environments featuring 24/7 physical surveillance, biometric access gates, and redundant environmental controls.

4. Breach Notification Protocol

In the event of any identified or suspected unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of unencrypted PHI, PAS maintains a strict regulatory response protocol to notify affected Covered Entities immediately and well within the statutory 60-day federal mandate, supporting full mitigation and reporting tracking.
