Develop a HIPAA Privacy Policy
Overview Most medical administrators have grappled with the issue of developing a HIPAA-compliant privacy policy. They have either developed a policy themselves or delegated the task to a staff member, possibly a medical group records administrator or hospital privacy official. But some administrators have not yet tackled this challenge for a number of reasons. Possibly their organizations were previously exempt from compliancy because they did not file electronic claims, a prerequisite for classification as a provider under the HIPAA guidelines. Possibly the organizations were programmatically exempt, such as a workers' compensation carrier or workers' compensation supporting organization. Other previously exempt organizations may have experienced a "Privacy incident" involving the inadvertent disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI), which motivated the organization to "Reach for compliance."
