Is anyone aware of any HIPAA requirement regarding a specific period of time for which incoming translation data must be retained by the receiving entity? The security regulation requires a data backup plan to create and maintain "for a specific period or time, retrievable exact copies of information." Other than that, I have found no references to data retention requirements.
In the absence of a HIPAA mandate on this topic, can anyone share their policy/rationale for data retention of incoming transaction data?
Thank you,
