Healthcare Business Associates was founded as an independent privately owned corporation.  The mission of this organization is to raise the business standards of ARM healthcare business associates.  Our first step was to establish the www.accreditedhba.org healthcare business standards program.  These accreditation standards were suggested and approved by healthcare and ARM business professionals.  Companies that qualify for accreditation and display the AHBA certificate are not receiving a purchase certificate or seal of approval they are guaranteeing compliance to all accreditation standards.  Failure to comply will have consequences and the certificate will be revoked.  Visit the HBA website for companies that qualify.
