A Medical Scribing Specialist gets to his HIPAA secure office about an hour earlier to his provider’s scheduled start time. The office is a secure fortress with a combination of physical and electronic security apparatus to ensure PHI/e-PHI is protected and only authorized personnel are allowed access to the facility.
