The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides for each state to have a health insurance Exchange which is an organized marketplace to help consumers and small businesses buy health insurance in a way that permits easy comparison of available plan options based on price, benefits and services, and quality. As required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS), these Exchanges must perform business functions which require data from federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Social Security Administration (SSA), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Each of these Departments and agencies has unique data protection requirements.
SolutionLab is providing oversight to the Commonwealth's implementation of the “Harmonized Security and Privacy Framework” developed by CMS for these Exchanges, which provides a single, integrated, comprehensive approach to security and privacy that respects applicable federal requirements under FISMA, HIPAA, HITECH, the Privacy Act, Tax Information Safeguarding Requirements, and state and federal regulations. - May 20, 2012 - Margolis Consulting Group, LLC (MCG) becomes SolutionLab, LLC as a Commonwealth of Massachusetts Limited Liability Company.
