Frequently Asked Questions
Is HIPAA compliance mandatory for Indian companies?
HIPAA is a US law, so it doesn't directly apply to Indian companies by default. However, if you handle Protected Health Information (PHI) for US healthcare clients — as a healthtech vendor, medical billing company, or BPO — your US clients will contractually require HIPAA-equivalent controls through a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
How much does HIPAA compliance cost in India?
Cost depends on scope — a focused readiness assessment and remediation programme for a mid-size healthtech company typically costs less than a full enterprise engagement with ongoing monitoring. The main cost drivers are the number of systems handling PHI, existing security maturity, and whether you need a one-time assessment vs an ongoing managed programme.
