What is HIPAA?
Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act
HIPAA sets industry standards for
submitting health information in electronic forms and maintaining
the privacy and security of health information.
Why are Business Associate Amendments important
for HIPAA compliance?
If you are a covered entity as defined by HIPAA,
you may be required to have a Business
Associate Amendment with Haisten Merchant Services.
Is my practice management
software compliant?
Software, in and of it self, cannot make you
compliant; however, software can be a compliance enabler. Software
that has been modified to enable HIPAA transaction and code set
processing is referred to as being “HIPAA Ready.” There are two
ways to become transaction and code set compliance enabled: Clearinghouse
Connectivity or Direct Modules.
How to be HIPAA Ready?
We have gathered some tools to help address what
HIPAA is and programs to help you become HIPAA ready.

how Medisoft helps offices achieve HIPAA readiness.
One software we suggest to use is the HIPAA Rx™
Compliance Toolkit . This program assists small-to-medium sized
medical practices comply with federally mandated HIPAA requirements.
It's designed to assist small-to-medium sized healthcare providers
in learning, identifying and implementing the federally mandated
HIPAA requirements. The primary component of the HIPAA Rx Toolkit
is an interactive software CD which includes eleven modules to
guide your organization through HIPAA compliance.
The software has an easy to use interface and
guides the privacy officer, office manager, or designated official
through a step-by-step approach to meeting the different requirements
without feeling overwhelmed. To simplify compliance further, the
HIPAA Rx Toolkit includes a training video on HIPAA and the HIPAA
Rx software. For your convenience this video is provided on VHS
and CD.
Once your organization has developed its HIPAA
compliance manual with the mandated policies and procedures HIPAA
Rx will assist you in training and educating the members of the
workforce.
