January 28th marks an important date for all sectors dealing with sensitive data, especially in the healthcare industry. It’s Data Privacy Day, an annual observation dedicated to raising awareness and promoting privacy and data protection best practices. As HealthAxis, a leader in healthcare technology and services, we see this day as a pivotal moment to reflect on the challenges and breakthroughs in claims processing and look ahead to what the future may hold.

In the intricate realm of healthcare, navigating compliance requirements is essential for health plans aiming to succeed amidst evolving regulations. A well-crafted corporate compliance program is not merely a risk-mitigation strategy; it serves as a cornerstone for building a reputable brand, fostering stakeholder trust, and ultimately achieving success.

This month we are speaking to Michael Friel, Compliance Officer, on the latest healthcare compliance regulations and how he keeps on top of the evolving industry of healthcare compliance.  

Healthcare compliance rules are continuously evolving. How do you stay informed of the latest developments?   

I learn something new every day in the changing regulatory environment. We devote time and effort to policy changes and stay current by following key industry sites like the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). I am grateful to be a part of an exceptional team and network of industry friends. We work together to understand and enact the adjustments.
