Get the HIPAA policies you need from the market leader in IT security policies.  You may be aware that as of September 23, 2013 your Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA) policies must be compliant with the new amendments made to HIPAA through the Omnibus Rule.  Many companies will no longer be in compliance and must update their HIPAA security policy to meet the new regulations.  These new changes were finalized in January 2013, went into effect March 26, 2013 and contain significant changes including more restrictions, stiffer penalties, and more enforcement.

If your organization is a covered entity or business associate that works with Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) it is critical to comply with the new HIPAA rules.  Noncompliance can be met with fines and other penalties.  In a few recent penalties one health insurance organization has agreed to pay $1.7 million, a large university agreed to pay $400,000, and a large pharmacy agreed to pay $1.44 million.  Can your organization afford these penalties?

Even closer to home - can you afford these penalties? Individuals like directors, employees, or officers of the covered entity may also be criminally liable under HIPAA.  At up to $50,000 per violation and potentially up to 10 years in prison, noncompliance with the HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), and the Omnibus rule is simply not an option.  While there is a maximum of $1.5 million for identification vocations in most cases, there is no theoretical maximum fine per year! These penalties can also be for unknowing covered entities - meaning if you did not know about the violation you can still be penalized both criminally as well as civilly.

But compliance is complicated.  The HIPAA security rule is complicated enough - and that is before it was modified by HITECH and the Omnibus Rule.  There are hundreds of pages of information contained in these regulations.  Ensuring your HIPAA security policy complies with the various aspects of each is almost impossible, whether you are a compliance officer at a large organization or the owner of a small business.

What is Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI)? ePHI means identifiable health information that is transmitted, or maintained, by electronic media and transmitted or maintained in any other form or medium.  The definition is very broad - if you store or transmit ePHI you are most likely covered by HIPAA.

What is a covered entity? Any health care provider that transmits health information covered by the HIPAA Transaction Rule whether directly or through a business associate.  A business associate is defined as a person that performs a function or activity on behalf of, or provides services to, a covered entity that involves individually identifiable health information.  This means that YOU are responsible for a breach even for someone that does work for you, if it involves your data.

As you can see the update in the 15-year-old HIPAA there are a significant amount of changes.  The Omnibus rule really puts some teeth into HIPAA.  From compliance officers at large organizations all the way down to small health care offices must be prepared for HIPAA.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) HIPAA Omnibus Rule contains over 500 pages of information.  The law is vague and complicated - do you have the time to read over 500 pages and determine what changes you need to make to your existing HIPAA security policies in order to be compliant?

Did you know that under the Omnibus rule the definition of a breach has changed? Under the HIPAA and HITECH an incident was not required to be disclosed if the compromised data contained limited data.  However, under the new rule breaches of limited data sets must be handled like all other breaches of ePHI, regardless of their content.  This means that you must notify the individuals of the data breach and if the breach affects more than 500 residents you must notify the media and HHS.  Do you want to see your organization's name or YOUR name to make the nightly news?

The enforcement rule preempts any state law that is contrary to it unless the state law is more stringent.  The Omnibus Rule is very powerful!  Compliance with HIPAA information security requirements is critical.

But that is where we come in.  Our expert policy writers have spent months updating our industry-proven Gold Security Policy Product to meet this new standard, and converting it into a downloadable, pre-written security policy template! What that means to you is a complete, comprehensive, and professionally-written security policy that can be immediately used for HIPAA information security compliance.  Perhaps better yet, it is also fully functional as an information security policy.  Your new HIPAA policy template isn't just a skeleton that you need to add IT policies to or copy and paste IT policy statements in to get a full IT security policy - you will get a complete HIPAA security policy ready to implement immediately.
