Is True or false the hipaa and security rules dictate that all who may come into contact with protected health information go through training on hipaa policy?

Does HIPPA require the use of icd cpt and hcps codes?
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) does not specifically require the use of ICD, CPT, or HCPCS codes. However, these coding systems are essential for standardizing billing and claims processes in healthcare, which HIPAA mandates for electronic transactions. Therefore, while HIPAA itself does not mandate their use, compliance with HIPAA regulations often necessitates their application in practice.
When corrections are being made to medical records should they be date and time stamped?
Proper procedure indicates that yes -- it usually should be. Corrections in insignificant things such as spelling are of course less critical, but anything emergent to timely needs to show when the noted changed was detected. Likewise, I suggest that the change is initialed. Note also that corrections never ever eradicate what was erroneously there before. The old entry is single-line struck out and the correction added. The exception to this is corrections asked for by the patient and made by the doctor, under the HIPAA guidelines.
Why does the AMA state that all corrections on patients records need to be dated and stamped?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Stamped", but the AMA and in fact medicine everywhere requires all changes on patient charts be noted, dated, initialed. The exception would be Corrections as described under HIPAA, which would result in the record being modified. In fact, it's standard medical policy that, except for as mentioned above, or under court order, no data is ever removed or redacted, but is instead struck through in a way that would retain legibility.

When does HIPAA require the use of electronic signatures?
HIPAA does not specifically require the use of electronic signatures; however, it permits them under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, as long as the electronic signature meets certain authentication and integrity standards. Organizations can choose to use electronic signatures for healthcare transactions, provided they comply with HIPAA's privacy and security regulations. Essentially, while electronic signatures can be utilized, the decision to use them is left to the discretion of the covered entities and business associates.
