Take a Closer Look with a KMC University HIPAA Assessment
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has developed regulations to protect the privacy and security of health information. To help doctors with meeting the requirements, HHS published both the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule. Unfortunately, the extensive amount of reading material and the constant misinformation have left doctors overwhelmed and at risk for a HIPAA violation.
What requirements apply to providers?
Is there a small provider exemption?
What could put a practice at risk?
The first step on the journey to compliance is to look in the mirror and see what your clinic’s HIPAA compliance looks like.
At KMC University, in collaboration with Easy Tech Compliance, we have made this possible. Our HIPAA Assessment service allows a certified specialist to evaluate your current HIPAA status and provide specific recommendations.
You have nothing to lose
Why not take a proactive approach to HIPAA compliance rather than reactive. Simply complete the HIPAA Assessment form and a HIPAA Specialist will provide you with a detailed report and recommendations within 3-5 business days.
NOTE: If you have a specific issue or have experienced a HIPAA incident, please book a Solution Consultation. The HIPAA Assessment is designed to evaluate and assess. The Specialist will not be able to provide solutions to a specific issue and concern during the discovery process.
PEACE. OF. MIND. Peace of Mind for our office and our patients. I have learned so much on doing things the correct way and have so much more confidence when dealing with insurance and collections. I sleep better at night knowing we are on the right track and have come such a long way. Our staff is more confident in verifying insurance, explaining, and checking people out than ever before. This has given our patients a much better experience and they have more trust in us knowing we understand these things. It is an honor to us when a patient chooses our office. We want to be the best we can be from their initial contact, treatment, and checkout experience. Because of KMCU, our patients now have an even better experience and our office staff take ownership in making that experience as best as possible.
