Medical Billing Services with HIPAA Compliance – More Proficiency
Medical billing services with HIPAA compliance can be availed of to improve the proficiency of a medical practice. Not abiding with HIPAA guidelines can result in penalties and damage. Doctors would be able to focus on their real priorities such as patient treatment and care, and growth of the practice. Electronic technology has been increasingly adopted for maintaining documentation such as medical records of patients, billing, personal information, and so on, in electronic form. So, look for a service provider who offers electronic medical billing.
Ensuring Confidentiality of Vital Health Information
An important aspect of HIPAA compliance is PHI or Protected Health Information. Under PHI comes information that assists in identifying a particular person and any data which is to be passed into the hands of health care providers and media clearinghouses. Such information includes:
- Name
- Telephone number
- Medical Record Numbers
- Social Security Numbers
- Photographs
- Health Plan Numbers
- Zip Code
- License Numbers
- Dates
- Fax Number
Providers of medical billing services with HIPAA compliance employ Lytec, Medisoft, Misys, Inception, IDX, Medic and/or other sophisticated medical billing software. Choose wisely for maximum benefit.
