Integrate Healthcare Insurance & HIPAA eCommerce

Medical Insurance Integration

HIPAA eCommerce can be merged with user information so their interactions within the HIPAA-compliant website can be enriched. In regard to insurance, it is possible to incorporate insurance-specific options within the medical device or e-pharmacy website.

For example, a user may have a specific insurance or have access to certain Medicare and Medicaid capabilities. As such, they would want to be able to easily see and understand if something is covered by their insurance. Furthermore, they would need to also see the insurance-specific pricing. You want this information to be dynamically shown, allowing them to see things based on their prescription, and then to see insurance coverage and/or financial support. That's where patient portal development comes in.

Utilizing HIPAA eCommerce Capabilities

Ultimately, it's relatively easy to set up a HIPAA eCommerce site to offer insurance options to the end-user. Through HIPAA eCommerce you can pull this private health information (PHI), tokenize it, and store it on behalf of the user. They can then incorporate it into their purchasing process whenever checking out or processing a recurring payment.

It is possible that a user may wish the change this information, be it insurance or credit card. Such information can expire or become invalid, so you want some sort of messaging system set up. You can alert the user if there are any changes that were made and if their insurance has expired or was rejected. You could also notify the user ahead of time if their insurance is closing in on its expiration date.

Other alerts are also helpful. When someone enters information into the HIPAA-compliant portal or site, it could be incredibly helpful to provide them with a graphic in order to show them where they are in the process. This allows them to understand what the next step is in for them to be able to utilize their insurance information.

It is up to the business how they want to utilize their HIPAA-compliant website design and apps, but it can be a major opportunity to expand the usage for end-users when they process their payments and engage with the site. By tying insurance usage into the site, they can then look into purchasing more expensive items that may be otherwise inaccessible to them.
