HIPAA Compliance

Steppable Inc. is committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security for all Protected Health Information (PHI) entrusted to us through our school care platform. We recognize the importance of safeguarding sensitive student health data and adhere strictly to the requirements set forth in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Our Commitment to HIPAA Compliance

1. Privacy and Security: We employ technical, administrative, and physical safeguards that meet or exceed HIPAA standards to protect PHI from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

2. Business Associate Agreements (BAAs): Steppable Inc. enters into BAAs with all partners and customers where required, ensuring that all parties share a mutual responsibility to uphold HIPAA standards.

3. Ongoing Training and Monitoring: Our employees undergo regular HIPAA training and security awareness programs to stay current on best practices and compliance requirements. We continuously monitor, assess, and update our processes to address any evolving risks or regulatory changes.

4. Secure Data Management: We utilize encryption and other advanced security measures to ensure data integrity, both in transit and at rest. Our platform is designed to prevent unauthorized access and maintain strict controls over the collection, storage, and transmission of student health information.

5. Incident Response and Reporting: In the event of any potential security incident, our dedicated team follows a robust incident response protocol that includes investigation, mitigation, and notification procedures in accordance with HIPAA requirements.

At Steppable Inc., our goal is to help K–12 schools provide better care for their students and secure additional funding through Medicaid, all while maintaining the utmost respect for students’ privacy rights. Our dedication to HIPAA compliance is an essential part of delivering a trusted school care platform and upholding the confidence of our partners, clients, and the communities we serve.
