PENALTIES ARE STEEP |
|
Federal law
mandates fines as high as $25,000.00 a year for unintentional
violations. Blatant violations can mean financial penalties as
high as $250,000.00 and possible imprisonment. Enforcement of
HIPAA mandates will most likely be monitored through government
auditing. |

provides HIPAA-Solutions™, a comprehensive HIPAA compliance and on-line training program developed exclusively for the

The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law created in 1996 to reform
the health insurance market and simplify health care transactions and
processes.
While the first
compliance deadline is April 14, 2003, the legislation will require
most health provider entities to present a compliance plan by Oct. 16,
2002, or face exclusion from federally funded programs, such as
Medicare and Medicaid. Any person or organization excluded from these
programs is prohibited from having any position or relationship with a
health-care entity that provides items or services to federally funded
programs. HIPAA permits the government to exclude managers and
officers of health provider businesses or other health-care
organizations based on their misconduct.
YOUR PRACTICE MUST BE HIPAA-COMPLIANT BY THE FEDERALLY MANDATED APRIL 14,
2003 DEADLINE.
