Assessments are performed and documented by third-party statisticians experienced in conducting HIPAA-related privacy analyses. Medicx reviewers rely on the statistical de-identification provision of the law, in which a covered entity may determine that health information is not individually identifiable. A person with appropriate knowledge of and experience with generally accepted statistical and scientific principles and methods for rendering information not individually identifiable:

(i) Applies such principles and methods and determines that the risk is very small that the information could be used, alone or in combination with other reasonably available information, by an anticipated recipient to identify an individual who is a subject of the information; and

(ii) Documents the methods and results of the analysis that justify such determination

The process harnesses the established expertise of de-identification privacy professionals to assess the risk contained in Medicx's de-identified data sets. The methodology is globally recognized and complies with accepted U.S. standards and guidelines, including The Health and Medicine Division (HMD) of the National Academies of Sciences (formerly IOM) and Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST).

With patient privacy of paramount concern to all parties engaging in the data-driven healthcare advertising ecosystem, Medicx sets itself apart from the competition by having a companywide policy and priority on maintaining this third-party assessment for its patient audience data and its proprietary methods for privacy by design best practices. Completing this exacting review every eighteen to twenty-four months ensures that Medicx audience data is de-identified properly, is defensible, and is compliant with all existing state and Federal laws.

"This rigorous third-party assessment adds real-world credibility, value, safety and, unmatched granularity to our audience segments," said Medicx President & CEO Michael Weintraub. "When a brand or agency works with us, they know we remove all risks associated with reaching and communicating with patient audiences through our HIPAA-compliant patented patient aggregation process so they can focus on delivering strong audience quality, ROI and their preferred KPIs."

Medicx HIPAA-compliant real-world evidence-based health insights power the company's patented ZIP+4 Micro-Neighborhood^® targeting solutions.
