It is important to consider security for payments in telehealth.

An important question to consider with telehealth applications is: Do you need a health information trust certification for telehealth? We already mentioned that HIPAA is not an actual program where you get a framed certificate at the end of the process. To claim HIPAA compliance in your application is certainly a good standard to have, but if you want to go further than that, you may want to consider HITRUST certification.
