Employer’s Guide to the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act

Employer’s Guide to the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act | Health Insurance, HIPAA, Healthcare Look Inside

The Employer’s Guide to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use resource of its kind. It will help you steer clear of penalties and excise taxes by meeting HIPAA’s ever-expanding coverage mandates -- including the major changes required by health reform. This resource walks you through breach notification and the other new privacy and security rules, so you can avoid the 2009 HITECH Act’s stiff new fines.

    With Thompson's HR Compliance Expert | Guide to HIPAA Compliance you can:

    • Understand HIPAA in plain-English with analysis of HIPAA’s broad and constantly changing requirements, and its interaction with other federal and state laws
    • Remain in compliance with up-to-date notices, policies, and plan documents as new rules take effect
    • Take immediate action with all the forms, charts, sample notices, and checklists provided
    • Contact the editor with unanswered questions — a special resource for customers
 
 

Major Topics Covered

Thompson's HR Compliance Expert | Guide to HIPAA Compliance provides everything you need to comply with HIPAA’s vast and still-evolving requirements, including the stricter HIPAA portability requirements imposed by the March 2010 health reform law, other recent laws on genetic discrimination and mental health parity, and the tighter privacy and security controls imposed by the HITECH Act. This resource navigates you through the new and existing requirements, providing helpful guidance so you can avoid civil penalties, excise taxes, employee lawsuits and criminal prosecution.
