MANITOWOC, WIS. – October 30, 2024 — Americollect, a leader in early out, bad debt collections and healthcare call center services, announced today that they have been awarded the HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 Risk-based, two-year (r2) certification. This is a recognition awarded by HITRUST for safeguarding sensitive information. The HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 certification applies to Americollect’s Debt Collection System and SFTP server residing at Americollect headquarters and is the third time Americollect has received this certification. This certification validates the expertise and professionalism of the Americollect employees who strive to uphold the highest levels of privacy, security and compliance measures, all while being Ridiculously Nice.
Receiving the HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 Certification status shows that an organization has met key regulations and industry-defined requirements while appropriately managing risk. This achievement places Americollect in an elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification. HITRUST developed the HITRUST CSF, a certifiable framework that provides organizations with the needed structure, detail and clarity relating to information protection. With input from leading organizations, HITRUST identified a subset of the HITRUST CSF controls that an organization must meet to be HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 Risk-based, 2-year (r2) Certified.
“Meeting and exceeding compliance with the latest security and privacy requirements, along with HIPAA regulations is essential to what we do,” said Americollect President Shawn Gretz. “By achieving the latest HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 Certification, our partners are confident their information is secure and have peace of mind knowing that we are constantly working to stay ahead of threats.”
As part of the HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 certification process, HITRUST performed a quality assurance review to ensure that the control maturity scores were consistent with the result of testing performed by the Authorized External Assessor. A full HITRUST Validated Assessment Report is also issued after the certification process.
Americollect firmly believes that everyone deserves to be treated Ridiculously Nice, all the time, no matter what. That includes protecting patient data with a HITRUST CSF® v11 2.0 certification. Working only with the healthcare industry, in early out, bad debt collections, and healthcare call center services, we utilize our Ridiculously Nice approach to open communication lines and build trust with the patient, providing the same compassionate approach that they expect from their healthcare organizations.
