Demystify the complexities of HIPAA, and the new ARRA/HITECH rules! If you’re a health care professional, it’s mandatory that you know the ins and outs of HIPAA compliance. This course focuses on the Administrative Simplification portion of HIPAA. We’ll cover transactions, code sets, and identifiers; the Privacy Rule; and the Security Rule. In addition, this course has been upgraded to include the new 2010 ARRA/HITECH provisions, which include the use of new transactions and code sets, new standards for the electronic transmission of health insurance data, and updates to the breach notification rules. By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident in your ability to bring your organization into compliance with HIPAA, ARRA, and HITECH’s requirements.
