HIPA, HIPPAA, HIPPO, HIPAA . . .

What is the proper acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act?

If you are still struggling with this, then we need to talk!

For the rest of you out there that at least have this much figured out, what is your status?

Have you appointed a privacy office?
Have you reviewed and completed the extension for electronic health care transactions and code set standards?
Did you know a “model” plan for extension exists?
Do you know the deadline for submission?
If not, we need to talk!

Have you been bombarded with literature, emails and calls from HIPAA experts?

How do you differentiate between a self-proclaimed expert and someone with healthcare industry experience that has implemented many other federal programs successfully?

Maybe you are well informed and understand the requirements, but either don’t have the time or staff to assess your organization, train and implement.

Whatever your status, consider how HSMN’s team can bring value to your plan.

HSMN comprises clinical as well as administrative healthcare staff that have an abundance of hands-on experience to offer. Through assessment of your current situation, the HSMN team can tailor a HIPAA implementation plan specifically to your needs. You can decide if you want a major overhaul of processes or bare bone steps to ensure compliance.

As for the privacy officer, if your organization is small it is often difficult for any one person to remain objective in assessing and correcting processes. Appointing an outside entity such as HSMN would ensure objectivity and also provide you and your staff with current developments even beyond the start-up for HIPAA.

HSMN won’t just perform an assessment, drop it on the table and leave. The HSMN team will work along with your staff to make sure we understand your operation and needs. Once that trust and understanding is developed, HSMN will be there to train your staff around your operational applications. We become a part of your team - assessing, preparing, training and implementing - giving you both input as well as output.

We encourage you to take a look at our client list. Any one of them can tell you about us, discuss our services and - most importantly - our performance.

There is an old saying: You get what you pay for. A proper HIPAA start-up and implementation could save you money from an operations standpoint as well as potential lost revenue due to penalties and fines.

Make HIPAA work for you, not against you.
