What Information Does PBSYS Collect?
In some areas of www.pbsys.com, we ask for personal information. For instance, basic personal information must be disclosed in order to make a request for information or support, or sign a service contract. In such situations, a user may be required to provide certain information, including his/her name, address, email address, phone number and medical practice profile. This list may be expanded without prior notice.

Some users of the website are clients of PBSYS. Such clients may utilize PBSYS’ medical transcription, practice management and EMR services and they will thus routinely send us their patients’ Protected Health Information (PHI.) PHI is information that identifies patients and relates patients’ past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of healthcare to patients, or past, present, or future payment for the provision of healthcare to patients. This information is only posted in the secured Member’s Area, which is 128-bit encrypted and requires a username and password.

What does PBSYS do with the information it collects?
This information is collected to help PBSYS further develop its services, to provide access to valuable PBSYS Internet-based information and services, and to bill as appropriate.

PBSYS employs all reasonable and customary measures to protect PHI sent to PBSYS through the Internet. Once PBSYS receives PHI, it is posted in a secure password-protected database.

Users are responsible for keeping passwords confidential and will be solely responsible for all uses of their password. If a user becomes aware of any unauthorized use of his or her password, he or she is responsible for contacting PBSYS to request deactivation of the password. Most web browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, etc.) offer the opportunity to select a “remember password” function on the website. If a user selects this option, the password will thereafter be automatically identified when the user accesses the website. As a result, anyone with access to the specific computer may have access to patients’ PHI. Users alone are responsible for controlling access to their computers and for preventing unauthorized access to PHI.
