HIPAA Privacy Source Book

The HIPAA Privacy Rule affects virtually every organization that provides health-related benefits - not just health providers.

Do you know which HIPAA provisions are important to inform and train your staff?

If you're a health provider, do you really have all the policies and forms you need?

What about revisions to job descriptions?

Will you need to revise procedures for workers compensation?

Is your firm a Business Associate serving the health care industry?

Even if your organization is not a covered entity, HIPAA affects the manner in which you will administer FMLA, sick leaves, maternity leaves, drug and alcohol testing, workers compensation and other practices requiring communications with a physician. Further, HIPAA affects health benefit plan administration.

Your health plan will require your firm to certify to certian privacy safeguards before disclosing protected health information created in the administration of the health plan. In addition, assistance for employees by human resources personnel in responding to health claims inquiries is significantly limited unless the employer has proper procedures in place.
