HIPAA Compliance for APCM: Multi-Site Practice Checklist

Standardize Business Associate Agreements across every regional office and acquired practice to ensure uniform liability coverage.

Verify that AI call center agents only access PHI relevant to the specific site's patient attribution to minimize data exposure.

Implement a unified logging system to track who accesses APCM records across different EHR instances and geographic locations.

Ensure all staff at every location receive uniform HIPAA training specifically focused on APCM documentation and remote care.

Confirm that AI and communication vendors maintain SOC2 Type II and HIPAA compliance audits for multi-tenant environments.

Ensure all data transfers between disparate EHR systems and the centralized APCM platform are encrypted via TLS 1.2 or higher.

Prevent unauthorized cross-site data viewing unless clinically necessary for APCM coordination or centralized billing.

Deploy AI tools that automatically redact sensitive data from call recordings and transcripts before they are stored in the cloud.

Use SSO (Single Sign-On) to manage provider access across multiple practice locations and integrated EHR platforms.

Confirm that all cloud-hosted APCM data remains within HIPAA-compliant US-based servers and is not stored on local devices.

Match every APCM interaction to the correct provider NPI and site location for accurate Medicare billing and attribution.

Use AI call handling to capture and log patient consent for APCM services directly into the EHR to meet Medicare requirements.

Ensure the 20+ minutes of APCM care coordination are logged securely and attributed to the correct site-level provider.

Create a centralized portal for reporting HIPAA breaches or billing discrepancies across all sites for corporate oversight.

Perform a monthly audit of patient enrollment lists against provider attribution to prevent duplicate billing across sites.
