HIPAA Certification is a term commonly used by many vendors today claiming the ability to certify organizations on HIPAA and make them HIPAA Compliant.  This is a misconception actively addressed by the Office  for Civil Rights (OCR) with oversight of the HIPAA Regulations.

The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and OCR have made it clear that in regard to HIPAA certification they do not endorse any private consultants’ or education providers’ seminar, material, or systems, and do not certify any persons or products as “HIPAA compliant.”  The Privacy Rule does not require attendance at any specific seminars.  The OCR has taken a further step and indicated that anyone making false or misleading representations about HHS or OCR in regard to HIPAA training and compliance may be reported to the OCR.

HIPAA Associates does not claim to offer HIPAA certification.  Instead we offer a HIPAA Compliance training program created with the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule in mind.  Our training is based on in-depth knowledge of the law and the benefit of many years of experience working with HIPAA and the OCR.  These courses include information on best practices and cover all of the necessary information you will need to understand the basic concepts of HIPAA. We follow the intent of the OCR in all of our training programs.

The Administrative requirements of HIPAA (§ 164.530) indicate that a covered entity must train all members of its workforce on the policies and procedures with respect to protected health information as necessary and appropriate for the members of the workforce to carry out their functions within the covered entity.

A covered entity must provide training to each member of the covered entity’s workforce no later than the compliance date for the covered entity.

Each new member of the workforce must be trained within a reasonable period of time after the person joins the covered entity’s workforce.

A covered entity must train each member of the covered entity’s workforce whose functions are affected by a material change in the policies or procedures within a reasonable period of time after the material change becomes effective.

A covered entity must document that the training has been provided.

How do I get certified in HIPAA?

We observe the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) guidance as it pertains to HIPAA Certification. We will provide a Certificate of Completion for those that complete a training course. It is important to note, the OCR does not endorse any private consultants’ or education providers claims and does not certify any persons or products as “HIPAA compliant.

Our Promise to You. We will assist your organization to follow the OCR requirements which expects that each member of the workforce will review and understand privacy policies; we will provide training through video presentations, or interactive software programs. We are prepared to assist you with these requirements through our programs and our personal service.

Covered entities and business associates must comply with the HIPAA Rules which are federal regulations.  HIPAA Associates has created courses to address the HIPAA Rules based on the function of healthcare providers.

Many states have privacy laws that affect patient privacy. Our courses do not cover each individual state, but you may consult with our professionals to review applicable laws from your state.
