Security & HIPAA

Your patients' data, handled like it matters.

Medical coding means handling protected health information. Here is how we do it.

Business Associate Agreement first

For customers, a BAA is signed before we receive any protected health information. The free E/M calculator is not covered by a BAA and takes de-identified notes only.

Minimum necessary access

We access only the encounter data needed to code it, through the access your practice grants.

No training on your data

Your patients' information is used to code your encounters and for nothing else.

Synthetic data in demos

Our product tour and sales demos use synthetic patients and charts only.

Controls in place

What protects the data today.

Encryption
Encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher. Stored notes and results are encrypted at rest, with an application-level key on top of the database's own storage encryption.
Access control
Production systems are reachable only by named team members. Our app's sign-in is rate-limited and locks after repeated failed attempts, and sessions expire.
Audit logging
Every signed-in action in our app is written to an append-only audit log.
Retention and deletion
Free calculator: the note is deleted as soon as the calculation finishes, and results are deleted after 30 days. Customers: retention, return and destruction of PHI are set in your BAA.
Incident response
If we discover a breach of your protected health information, we notify you as HIPAA and your BAA require.
