The Academy has updated its comprehensive HIPAA Model Compliance Plans to reflect the recent changes in the privacy rules and added several additional features to benefit members. The Plan, specifically tailored for O&P practitioners, includes all the forms you will need to develop for your practice, an explanation of the Privacy Standards, and detailed policies and procedures to help ensure compliance. In addition, the updated Plan is written using less technical language making it easier to delegate the project to a staff person.
The Plan is available to Academy Members for $300 in CD or notebook form from the Academy and includes consultation time with Healthcare Compliance Solutions for answers to questions. The Academy has partnered with HCS, an organization that devotes its full efforts to helping practitioners comply with the many healthcare regulations. Members that purchased version 1.0 will have the update mailed to them at no additional cost.
O&P practitioners need to start their compliance efforts NOW. Practices will have to develop notices of their privacy practices, create business associate contracts for vendors that receive protected health information, develop a privacy compliance program, and take other steps to meet the Privacy Standard's obligations by April 14, 2003.
If you want to start immediately, call Bethany Oxer with your credit card to order the Model Compliance Plan over the phone. We can email you the components. (To place an order by email, send the appropriate info to Bethany Oxer at <Email Address Redacted> <mailto:<Email Address Redacted>>.)
