Hello List,
I am new to this list, so please be patient with me, if I ask any questions
that have been addressed repeatedly in the past. Anyway, I am the HIPAA
Privacy Officer for a Physician's Group Practice and have just recently
finished our first round of "Privacy Training and Education" for the group.
Two questions came up that I could not answer specifically:
1) Is there specific direction as to what we can and can not discuss
during
e-mails between the clinic and patient; and
2) Do we need a contract between Nurse Case Manager's that come in
to our
office to discuss treatment plans with our doctors (that are
contracted
by the Insurance Carrier) and our Physician's Group to satisfy
"Business
Associate Policy" portion of our HIPAA Privacy Rule policies?
I appreciate any information available. Also, please let me know if there
are other
"List-Serves" that are more specific to "Healthcare Privacy, Security &
Electronic Transactions."
Thank You,
Daryl Ewing, CPC
RPK Anesthesia, P.A.
