Infinx earns HITRUST i1

Infinx said on April 14 that its revenue-cycle and patient-access platforms won HITRUST i1 certification for a defined scope after a validated assessment. (infinx.com) The Cupertino, California, company said the certification covers its in-scope platforms and supporting environments under HITRUST Common Security Framework version 11.5.1. Infinx describes itself as a provider of artificial-intelligence, automation, and human-led services for healthcare revenue cycle work. (newswire.com) Revenue cycle management is the back-office work that turns patient visits into payments, from insurance checks before care to billing and collections after care. Infinx sells software and services for those steps, including patient access and revenue recovery. (infinx.com 1) (infinx.com 2) HITRUST is a certification system used heavily in healthcare to test whether a company has put specific security controls in place around sensitive data. The i1 version is a one-year assessment with a fixed set of 182 controls tied to current cyber risks. (hitrustalliance.net) HITRUST says the i1 assessment is meant to give “validated security” assurance without the custom scoping of its more complex risk-based review. Third-party compliance firms describe i1 as a middle tier: more rigorous than entry-level e1 and less complex than r2. (hitrustalliance.net) (help.drata.com) That matters in healthcare software sales because hospitals and physician groups routinely ask vendors to prove how they protect patient and billing data before signing contracts. Infinx said customers use its platforms in patient access and revenue-cycle operations, two workflows that handle large volumes of protected health and financial information. (infinx.com) The company framed the certification as evidence for buyers evaluating security and compliance readiness, but the announcement does not say the certification applies to every Infinx product or environment. The press release repeatedly limits the claim to a “defined scope” and to “in-scope” platforms and environments. (accessnewswire.com) Infinx was founded in 2012 and says it combines software, automation, and outsourced operations for healthcare providers. Its public materials say the company works across patient access, coding, billing, denials, and payment workflows. (infinx.com 1) (infinx.com 2) For hospital buyers, the practical takeaway is narrower than the headline: Infinx now has a current, one-year HITRUST i1 certification for the parts of its platform included in the assessment.
