To provide proper patient care and to carry out daily business functions healthcare organizations must obtain patients’ sensitive medical details and demographic and account information. In return, patients must be able to trust that the information they provide, known as protected health information (PHI), will be maintained securely and confidentially. Since HIPAA was enacted in 1996, healthcare organizations across the country have been working to achieve these standards and to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of patients’ PHI. Misdirected faxes, documentation mix-ups, and employee snooping are common patient privacy violations. This webinar will examine and discuss common HIPAA scenarios and inform you on what to do in those situations. Dr. Anderson will present the updated material in a manner that is entertaining, fun, and easy to grasp for staff. This course is designed for staff and doctors.

Why is the Discount Challenge prize amount $15,024? Because that is the average “per-occurrence” fine for Medicare inducements. That’s not $15,024 per patient, that’s not per provider, that’s PER VISIT. Stinks, doesn’t it? To us, the prize amount is worth the investment if we can help our profession better understand proper discounting.
