Subject: Privacy Policies
We are a health plan. Our Administration Department is stating that we can have one general, generic policy for the Privacy Rule and use procedures to implement the standards, implementation specifications, and requirements. I disagree. Everything I have read and all the conferences I have attended have stated that we need separate policies and procedures. Does anyone agree that we could meet the Privacy Rule requirements with one policy and many procedures or does the Privacy Rule require multiple policies and procedures? I admit that I am not a very good at arguing my viewpoint, and would appreciate references supporting the argument that we need multiple policies and procedures. Thanks.
