HIPAA Online: A “How-To” Guide for Your Medical Practice
|
On August 21, 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was signed into
law. One part of the law, Administrative Simplification, was meant to reduce
the costs and administrative burdens of the health care system by standardizing
the electronic transmission of certain administrative and financial
transactions. The American Academy of Pediatrics has teamed with leading experts and other medical specialty societies to develop
detailed guidelines and easy-to-use toolkits that simplify implementation of
the HIPAA Transactions, Privacy, and Security rules.
Three Need-To-Know Resources in One!
- HIPAA Transactions and Code Sets Toolkit
- HIPAA Privacy Manual
- HIPAA Security Manual
Plus time-saving, work-saving sample forms and document templates you can modify for your practice.
This online HIPAA manual is available to all AAP members as a member benefit through
Practice Management Online, and is available for purchase by other
health and information technology professionals.
HIPAA: A How-To Guide for Your Medical Practice is also available as a convenient print compendium
from the AAP Bookstore at
