HIPAA Compliance
Last Updated: July 18, 2026
May River Medicare Insurance handles your personal and health information with the highest level of care. This page explains how our technology, our processes, and our security keep your information private, protected, and fully compliant with HIPAA and all applicable privacy laws.
1 Our Commitment to HIPAA
As a licensed Medicare insurance agency, we are fully committed to compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and every related privacy and security standard. Protecting your Protected Health Information (PHI) — and treating it as if it were our own — is a responsibility we never take lightly.
We don’t aim for “good enough.” We hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we’ve built our people, our processes, and our technology around keeping your information safe at every step.
2 Built on a Secure, Purpose-Built System
Our entire operation runs on theZwall Connect — a secure, proprietary technology platform engineered with privacy and protection at its core. We spent countless hours designing, hardening, and testing this security system so that your information is safeguarded from the moment it reaches us.
- Encrypted end to end — information is protected in transit and at rest.
- Access controls — only authorized, licensed team members can view your data.
- Secure infrastructure — monitored, maintained, and continuously protected.
- Purpose-built for compliance — privacy safeguards are baked in, not bolted on.
3 Everything Is Tracked, Recorded & Accountable
Inside theZwall Connect, every interaction is logged and recorded. We know who accessed what, and when — a complete, time-stamped audit trail across our system. This isn’t just good practice; it’s how real accountability works.
Because everything is recorded, nothing slips through the cracks. If a question ever arises about how your information was handled, we have a clear, verifiable record. This level of transparency protects you as much as it protects us.
4 We Never Ask for Sensitive Information the Wrong Way
We will never request sensitive personal or health information through unsecured channels. We do not ask for Social Security numbers, banking details, or private health information over unencrypted email, public text, or social media.
When information is genuinely needed to help you, it is collected only through secure, encrypted, verified methods. If you ever receive a message that seems to ask for sensitive details in an unusual way, it is not from us — contact us directly using the phone number below to confirm.
5 Everything Reaches You Securely
Your information doesn’t just stay safe with us — it stays safe when it comes back to you. Documents, member details, and communications are delivered through secure, protected channels, so your private information is shielded from end to end. Security isn’t an add-on in our system; it’s the default.
6 Our Safeguards
In line with HIPAA, we maintain layered safeguards across three areas:
- Administrative — trained team members, clear privacy policies, and defined procedures.
- Physical — controlled access to the systems and devices that touch your data.
- Technical — encryption, access controls, monitoring, and full audit logging.
7 Your Rights
Under HIPAA, you have important rights regarding your health information — including the right to know how it is used, the right to request access to it, and the right to ask that it be corrected. We respect these rights fully and are always happy to answer your questions about how your information is protected.
