HIPAA Privacy and HIPAA Security Compliance
For health care providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses, compliance with HIPAA's Title II Administrative Simplification requirements is mandatory. Title II requires administrative compliance from both employers and health care practitioners with national standards for the use, disclosure, and security of protected health information.
Title II demands health care providers to comply with the strict standards for patient privacy and confidentiality of their health care information. Our lawyers can help you to meet required deadlines, minimize delays, and strictly adhere to reporting requirements. We can also advise you on related issues such as HIPAA training of staff (which is mandatory for any covered health care provider), drafting of required HIPAA policies and the Notice of Privacy Practices, and how to respond to patient complaints, when and how to comply with HIPAA's administrative requirements, and any other related concern.
In conjunction with our HIPAA advice and counsel, we also offer education and training materials and frequently speak on the subject in public speaking engagements across the country.
If you are a provider and have concerns regarding health care law, the operation of your health care practice or organization, or HIPAA compliance, please contact our office or call 317-704-2400 today. A member of our legal team can assess your situation and determine the best way in which to proceed with your case.
