HIPAA Deadline Approaches for Healthcare Plans Under $5 Million
|
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued sweeping new privacy regulations applying to healthcare plans and providers. The federal agency has mandated that - by April 14, 2004 - those plans with less than $5 million in premiums or claims paid must be in strict compliance.
By listening to this audio conference on CD, you'll get clear, expert answers to these crucial questions related to the new HIPAA regulations:
-
Do these new rules apply to all of our benefit plans?
- What are the penalties for noncompliance?
- What is a business associate contract? Do we need one? With whom?
- Do we need to send a privacy notice to each of our employees?
- Does it make a difference if our benefits are self-funded or fully insured?
- Won't our insurer or broker take care of all this?
- Are employee drug tests covered under these rules?
- Can our HR personnel still answer claims questions or assist with claims filing?
- Can spouses access each other's information? Can parents access children's information?
- What is a Privacy Officer? Do we need one?
You'll get the clear guidance you need from an expert on HIPAA regulations:
