Key capabilities

Compliance features

Built into the architecture — not bolted on as an afterthought.

🏥

Zero ePHI retention

No electronic Protected Health Information is stored, cached, or persisted by AffixIO at any point. Each eligibility check is stateless and transient.

📝

Business Associate Agreements

AffixIO provides signed Business Associate Agreements (BAA) for covered entities and their business associates integrating healthcare eligibility verification.

🔍

HIPAA Security Rule audit controls

Verification decisions generate audit records meeting HIPAA Security Rule requirements at 45 CFR 164.312(b), with pseudonymised identifiers only.

⚕

EHR integration via FHIR

AffixIO supports integration with Electronic Health Record systems using FHIR standards, enabling patient eligibility checks without duplicating sensitive data.

🔐

HIPAA-grade encryption

All data in transit uses TLS 1.3. Access controls and encryption at rest are configurable for enterprise healthcare deployments.

How it works

Implementation

Healthcare eligibility verification requires strict controls over PHI. AffixIO's stateless model removes the most significant compliance risk:

  • ✓ No data persistence: Patient identifiers are evaluated in memory for the duration of the API call only. No PHI is written to storage at any point.
  • ✓ Encrypted channels: All API communication uses TLS 1.3. Enterprise deployments can configure certificate pinning and IP allowlisting.
  • ✓ Pseudonymised audit trails: Audit logs reference pseudonymous transaction IDs with no patient-identifiable data present in log records.
  • ✓ Consent integration: Compatible with healthcare consent management systems, enabling verification to be gated on recorded patient consent.
  • ✓ EHR system integration: FHIR-compatible API endpoints allow eligibility checks to be embedded directly into EHR workflows without exposing raw PHI to third-party systems.
