HIPAA anti-retaliation policy

Under no circumstances shall Axiom.co intimidate, threaten, coerce, discriminate against, or take other retaliatory action against any individual for:

1. The exercise of rights guaranteed under HIPAA, including the filing of a HIPAA complaint against Axiom.co;
2. The filing of a HIPAA complaint with the Secretary of HHS;
3. Testifying, assisting, or participating in a HIPAA investigation, compliance, review, proceeding, or hearing;
4. Opposing any act or practice that is counter to the HIPAA regulations, provided the individual or person has a good faith belief that the practice opposed is unlawful, and the manner of the opposition is reasonable and does not involve a disclosure of PHI in violation of HIPAA.

No retaliatory action against an individual or group involved in filing HIPAA complaints or otherwise reporting infractions will be tolerated.

Under no circumstances shall Axiom.co require any member(s) of its workforce, volunteers, or management to waive their rights under HIPAA.
