HIPAA ABCs is meant for busy practices who have to understand the HIPAA Privacy Rule. We understand how difficult it must be to stay abreast of important aspects of the Rule. We are here to help make it easy for you by presenting our HIPAA topics in small doses through our HIPAA ABCs. We encourage our readers to contact us with topics they may find helpful or interesting in their practice. We will do our best to include them in future issues of HIPAA ABCs. No topic is too small or large for inclusion.
All covered entity organizations that handle protected health information (PHI) must follow the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Under HIPAA, PHI is individually identifiable health information that is used, maintained, stored or transmitted by a HIPAA covered entity. It is the responsibility of these organizations to safeguard all protected health information and demonstrate this through a carefully crafted HIPAA compliance plan. The covered entity could be a healthcare provider, health plan, health insurer or healthcare clearinghouse. HIPAA Associates is here to help you with you understand the HIPAA Privacy Rule in your practice.
