This lesson will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance officers) need to ensure their organization is complying with the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) regulations (42 CFR Part 2) and how this differs from the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy and Security Regulations.

HIPAA Vs SAMHSA (42 CFR Part 2)

The chargemaster is both a direct and indirect target of compliance and thus various types of audits.  Hospitals should periodically take the time to examine their chargemasters from a compliance perspective.  This means examining and review various CDM policies and procedures (P&Ps) which must dovetail with coding P&Ps as well as bill P&Ps.  Issues such as transparent pricing, proper use of revenue codes, cost report interface, coding interface, a billing interface, supply categorization, etc. must all be considered.  A systematic process for auditing the chargemaster relative to this host of compliance issues is discussed.
• Why is the chargemaster a direct target for compliance?
• Are formal, chargemaster policies and procedures important?
• Should the chargemaster be routinely reviewed as a good compliance practice?
• What is all the concern about archiving the chargemaster?
• Is statutory and contractual requirement for the chargemaster significantly different?
• Why has chargemaster pricing become such a hot compliance issue?
• How can we know that our chargemaster is in compliance?
• Are the revenue codes really important?

Compensating Employed Physicians Key Stark Law Considerations

Social Media is a part of the every-day activity for many, and it is essential to carefully consider how it is used in medical offices for everything from marketing and public information, to patient communications.

With the new HIPAA random audit program under way, and increases in enforcement actions following breaches, now is the time to ensure your organization is in compliance with the regulations and meeting the communication needs and desires of its providers and patients.

You need the proper privacy protections for health information, and the necessary documented policies and procedures, as well as documentation of any actions taken pursuant to your policies and procedures. Most organizations haven’t updated their privacy and security policies or information security risk analysis to cover social networking. And, of course, you will need to train your staff in all the new policies and procedures.

In order to integrate the use of social networking into patient communications, it is essential to perform the proper steps in an information security compliance process to evaluate and address the risks of using the technology. And there has long been a HIPAA requirement for covered entities to do their best to meet the requests of their patients for particular modes of communication, and using social networking is no exception.

The stakes are high – any improper exposure of PHI may result in an official breach that must be reported to the individual and to the US Department of Health and Human Services. Likewise, complaints by a patient if they are not afforded the access they desire can bring about HHS inquiries and enforcement actions, so it is essential to find the right balance of access and control.

HIPAA And Social Media Using New Technologies Without Breaking The Rules

This webinar will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order before the imminent audits occur. It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2018.

Areas also covered will be texting, email, encryption, medical messaging, voice data and risk factors as they relate to IT.

The primary goal is to ensure everyone is well educated on what is a myth and what is a reality with this law, there is so much misleading information all over regarding the do’s and don’ts with HIPAA – I want to add clarity for compliance officers

I will uncover myths versus reality as it relates to this very enigmatic law based on over 1000 risk assessments performed as well as years of experience in dealing directly with the Office of Civil Rights HIPAA auditors.

I will also speak to real life litigated cases I have worked where HIPAA is being used to justify state cases of negligence – THIS IS BECOMING A HUGE RISK!

In addition, this course will cover the highest risk factors for being sued as well as being audited (these two items tend to go hand in hand).

HIPAA Training For The Compliance Officer

Third-party payers continue to make collecting for services more and more challenging. And the fee schedules continue to be reduced. As the reimbursement per service falls and improper denials continue to arrive at the practice, it is critical that the billing and coding operations implement an assertive appeals process, holding third-party payers accountable for paying for services rendered, documented, appropriately coded and billed. This is a tedious process and cannot be overlooked because it may be the difference between profitability and the loss of a practice.
