Download or read book HIPAA IT Essentials written by Roy Rada and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People need to understand the information systems ramifications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). They are eager to get unbiased and comprehensive information about what HIPAA means for them. This book, HIPAA@IT Essentials addresses that need. Content: This book is organized into the following three main chapters: 1. Transactions and Codes, 2. Privacy, and 3. Security. The Transactions and Codes Chapter relates to exchanges between healthcare providers and payers. The Chapter covers transactions, code sets, identifiers, and impact. The Privacy Chapter focuses on the relationship between patients and the healthcare system, and the chapter addresses consent and authorize, access and amend, administration, other regulations, and impact. The Security Chapter explains how to keep information safe and covers: compliance life cycle, real-world security policy; computer security models; and technical security mechanisms. The healthcare providers and payers have agreed that standardization of the transactions between them would be helpful. Standards for transactions and code sets are vital to efficient and effective communication among healthcare organizations. The impact should be higher quality at less cost. Privacy relates to power. When one person has another person's private information, that other person loses some control. This power perspective sheds light on the intense conflict that surrounds privacy discussions. The Privacy Rule gives the patient strong rights over his or her information. The Security Chapter describes how organizations address the proposed Security Rule. Workflow management is vital to healthcare organizations and when done properly gives security as a derivative. Therefore, organizations should see the proposed Security Rule as a challenge to improve their workflow. The reader is assured that the author will watch for any changes in law or regulation. When a significant change occurs, such as a Final Rule is issued (or withdrawn), the author will make available updated information. Audience and Related Work Anyone working in or around healthcare could benefit by reading this book. The targeted audience is people in healthcare organizations that have some information systems responsibility. More particularly, managers in hospitals and information systems consultants have responsibilities that require them to know the content of this book. The book also serves many others, such as nurses or radiologists within the provider community, information systems staff within an insurance company, and salespeople in consulting firms or lawyers. A company might use the books to help persuade staff about the relevance of HIPAA to a company's information policies and tools. The material assumes no particular background of the audience as regards information systems or healthcare. However, maturity is assumed in terms of understanding both healthcare and information systems.

Download or read book Compliance for Coding Billing Reimbursement 2nd Edition written by Duane C. Abbey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the vast majority of providers never intend to commit fraud or file false claims, complex procedures, changing regulations, and evolving technology make it nearly impossible to avoid billing errors. For example, if you play by HIPAA’s rules, a physician is a provider; however, Medicare requires that the same physician must be referred to as a supplier. Even more troubling is the need to alter claims to meet specific requirements that may conflict with national standards. Far from being a benign issue, differing guidelines can lead to false claims with financial and even criminal implications. Compliance for Coding, Billing & Reimbursement, Second Edition: A Systematic Approach to Developing a Comprehensive Program provides an organized way to deal with the complex coding, billing, and reimbursement (CBR) processes that seem to force providers to choose between being paid and being compliant. Fully revised to account for recent changes and evolving terminology, this unique and accessible resource covers statutorily based programs and contract-based relationships, as well as ways to efficiently handle those situations that do not involve formal relationships. Based on 25 years of direct client consultation and drawing on teaching techniques developed in highly successful workshops, Duane Abbey offers a logical approach to CBR compliance. Designed to facilitate efficient reimbursements that don’t run afoul of laws and regulations, this resource – Addresses the seven key elements promulgated by the OIG for any compliance program Discusses numerous types of compliance issues for all type of healthcare providers Offers access to online resources that provide continually updated information Cuts through the morass of terminology and acronyms with a comprehensive glossary Includes a CD-ROM packed with regulations and information In addition to offering salient information illustrated by case studies, Dr, Abbey provides healthcare providers and administrators, as well as consultants and attorneys, with the mindset and attitude required to meet this very real challenge with savvy, humor, and perseverance.

Download or read book Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of health care, privacy protections are needed to preserve patients' dignity and prevent possible harms. Ten years ago, to address these concerns as well as set guidelines for ethical health research, Congress called for a set of federal standards now known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule. In its 2009 report, Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule: Enhancing Privacy, Improving Health Through Research, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Health Research and the Privacy of Health Information concludes that the HIPAA Privacy Rule does not protect privacy as well as it should, and that it impedes important health research.
Download or read book Hipaa Demystified written by Lorna Hecker and published by Loger Press. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vital resource offers mental and behavioral health providers clear, demystified guidance on HIPAA and HITECH regulations pertinent to practice. Many mental health providers erroneously believe that if they uphold their ethical and legal obligation to client confidentiality, they are HIPAA compliant. Others may believe that because their electronic health record provider promises HIPAA compliance, that their practice or organization is HIPAA compliant also not true. The reality is HIPAA has changed how providers conduct business, permanently, and providers need to know how to apply the regulations in daily practice. Providers now have very specific privacy requirements for managing patient information, and in our evolving digital era, HIPAA security regulations also force providers to consider all electronic aspects of their practice. HIPAA Demystified applies to anyone responsible for HIPAA compliance, ranging from sole practitioners, to agencies, to larger mental health organizations, and mental health educators. While this book is written for HIPAA covered entities and business associates, for those who fall outside of the regulations, it is important to know that privacy and security regulations reflect a new standard of care for protection of patient information for all practitioners, regardless of compliance status. Additionally, some HIPAA requirements are now being codified into state laws, including breach notification. This book s concise but comprehensive format describes HIPAA compliance in ways that are understandable and practical. Differences between traditional patient confidentiality and HIPAA privacy and security regulations are explained. Other important regulatory issues covered that are of importance of mental health providers include: Patient rights under HIPAA How HIPAA regulations define psychotherapy notes, with added federal protection Conducting a required security risk assessment and subsequent risk management strategies The interaction with HIPAA regulations and state mental health regulations Details about you may need Business Associate Agreements, and a Covered Entity s responsibility to complete due diligence on their BAs Training and documentation requirements, and the importance of sanction policies for violations of HIPAA Understanding what having a HIPAA breach means, and applicable breach notification requirements Cyber defensive strategies. HIPAA Demystified also addresses common questions mental health providers typically have about application of HIPAA to mobile devices (e.g. cell phones, laptops, flash drives), encryption requirements, social media, and Skype and other video transmissions. The book also demonstrates potential costs of failing to comply with the regulations, including financial loss, reputational damage, ethico-legal issues, and damage to the therapist-patient relationship. Readers will find this book chock full of real-life examples of individuals and organizations who ignored HIPAA, did not understand or properly implement specific requirements, failed to properly analyze the risks to their patient s private information, or intentionally skirted the law. In the quest to lower compliance risks for mental health providers HIPAA Demystified presents a concise, comprehensive guide, paving the path to HIPAA compliance for mental health providers in any setting.
