In the event of a future claim, Westport Insurance Corporation provides us with E&O insurance in the amounts of $10,000,000 per claim and $15,000,000 in aggregate. Internally, Meridian maintains full control over our compliance protocols, policies and service offerings as there are no conflicts, affiliates or parent companies involved that would impede our management of the Iroquois account. Meridian takes HIPAA compliance very seriously and ensures that all business associate agreements are up to date with all clients and vendors that we conduct business with or share PII. We have taken significant steps to ensure that our clients data security measures are best in class.
