Emdeon receives EHNAC healthcare network re-accreditation
Emdeon, a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle management solutions, has again achieved full accreditation with the Healthcare Network Accreditation Program (HNAP) from the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC). EHNAC’s HNAP accreditation recognizes excellence in health data processing and transactions and indicates compliance with industry-established standards and HIPAA regulations. Emdeon and its affiliates have maintained EHNAC accreditation since 2001.

“It is an honor to receive the EHNAC stamp of approval from our industry peers in the processing of health data and transactions,” said George Lazenby, chief executive officer of Emdeon. “We believe this re-accreditation further demonstrates our commitment to achieving industry recognition for superior performance and improving the business of healthcare.”

Through a consultative review process, EHNAC evaluated Emdeon in areas of privacy measures, systems availability and security infrastructure. In addition, EHNAC reviewed Emdeon’s process of managing and transferring protected health information and determined that the organization exceeds all EHNAC criteria and industry standards. The accreditation is valid through August 13, 2011.

“Through EHNAC accreditation, Emdeon has demonstrated a commitment to ensuring the security and privacy of health data processing and transactions for its customers,” says Lee Barrett, executive director of EHNAC. “We are pleased to have Emdeon again join our select group of HNAP-accredited organizations and congratulate them on this achievement.”
