PHI transmitted electronically
The four HIPAA standards that address administrative simplification are, transactions and code sets, privacy rule, security rule, and national identifier standards.
A covered entity must have an established complaint process
Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability are the fundamental objectives of health information security and the HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to protect against threats and hazards to these objectives.
Yes, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) applies to individuals and their personal health information, protecting the privacy and security of this information.
The HIPAA Security Rule: Established a national set of standards for the protection of PHI that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted in electronic media by a HIPAA CE or BA; protects ePHI; and addresses three types of safeguards - administrative, technical and physical - that must be in place to secure individuals' ePHI.
Most of the technoloigcal requirements of HIPAA are discussed under The Security Rule.
The HIPAA Security Rule applies to "covered entities," which include healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses that transmit electronic protected health information (ePHI). It also applies to "business associates," which are individuals or organizations that perform activities on behalf of covered entities involving the use or disclosure of ePHI. These regulations establish standards for safeguarding electronic information to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI.
I can't find a mention of such a requirement in either the Privacy or Security rule. So I'm going to say No, not as a HIPAA requirement.
The HIPAA, or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act on 1996, was developed to protection and security of one health information, appointments, medical surgeries and much more.
