Stampli Achieves HIPAA Compliance and Business Associate Agreements

In a significant milestone for the procurement industry, Stampli, a leader in the procure-to-pay platform realm, has announced its compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This compliance is a game-changer for healthcare providers utilizing procurement and accounts payable processes, as it allows for better management of invoices, especially those containing sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI).

Why HIPAA Compliance Matters

HIPAA is pivotal in safeguarding the privacy and security of individuals' medical records. For businesses operating within healthcare, maintaining compliance isn’t just beneficial; it’s often a legal requirement. Stampli’s achievement in this area enables healthcare clients to navigate AP processes without the burden of non-compliance, which has traditionally hampered invoice workflow efficiency in this sector.

Stampli's commitment to privacy and security means that it can offer Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to its HIPAA-covered clients. This further strengthens the security measures in place, ensuring that client data is not only protected but that any associated processes remain streamlined and efficient.

Enhancing User Experience Amid Compliance

One of the standout features of Stampli is its unwavering focus on user experience. Rather than forcing users to modify their operations to fit the software, Stampli adapts seamlessly to existing workflows. The transition to HIPAA compliance was approached with the same ethos, integrating privacy controls that do not compromise the functionality users have come to rely on. This means businesses can leverage the full capabilities of the platform without facing disruptions due to compliance burdens.

For clients working with invoices that contain PHI—such as patient names, service dates, and payment details—Stampli automates the processing of these documents with all the safeguards one would expect from a HIPAA-compliant solution. This reduces the need for manual processing, significantly decreasing operational inefficiency and compliance risks.

Addressing Market Gaps in AP Automation

Historically, invoices laden with Protected Health Information have posed obstacles in accounts payable automation. Financial teams often grappled with manually entering data, creating not only potential compliance issues but also extending payment cycles which could impact patient care.

Stampli tackles these challenges head-on by transforming the way healthcare organizations handle invoicing. With its AI-driven capabilities, Stampli processes invoices containing PHI through secure automated workflows just like any traditional invoice, thus eliminating a major bottleneck of compliance risks and inefficiencies.

The Power of AI in Procurement

At the heart of Stampli’s user-friendly services is Billy, the proprietary AI business reasoning model. With an equivalent of 83 million man-hours in invoice processing experience, Billy enhances every step of the procurement lifecycle, providing real-time assistance and boosting overall productivity.

Stampli continues to evolve by providing tailored integrations with various Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, including Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, which streamlines implementation and learning for stakeholders involved in the invoice lifecycle. This adaptability allows Stampli to deploy solutions swiftly—often within weeks rather than months.

Looking Ahead

With the addition of HIPAA compliance, Stampli is not just expanding its capabilities; it is setting industry standards in procurement for healthcare entities. This compliance allows for more secure and efficient processing of invoices while maintaining the same functionality and experience that all users have come to expect from the platform.
