HIPAA Rules for the Front Staff - By AtoZ Compliance

Key Take Away :

This webinar will explain how HIPAA compliance makes your front-desk staff more important than ever and the way they handle their everyday duties and interact with your patients can not only cause you to get HIPAA violation audits, but it can also be the source of hefty penalties and fines that you are left to pay.

Overview :

The problem with HIPAA compliance training is that it permeates so many aspects of your practice. Here are a few examples of areas that could be HIPAA audit time bombs unless you find HIPAA security compliance solutionsimmediately: 

* Social Media * Patient Information Access * Patient Reminder Calls * Release of Information (to both patients and other providers) * Family Member Request for Information * Prescription Pick-up * Charging Patients to make Copies * Addressing Patients by Name * Putting Charts Outside Exam Rooms * Fax Requests * Waiting Room Breaches

HIPAA audits are on the rise. You’ll probably be surprised to learn that patient complaints are the number one driver behind being chosen for a HIPAA audit. And the people that most interact with your patients other than your dentists and hygienists are at your front desk. And the most common front desk HIPAA violations usually need HIPAA compliant solutions, you’d never think of.
