HEAVEN’S HANDS COMMUNITY SERVICE H.I.P.A.A.

What is HIPAA? HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which was passed into Federal Law in Under HIPAA, the privacy of health information for all Americans went into effect on April 14, 2003

How does HIPAA affect the professional in the MR/DD field? As professionals, in the MR/DD field, we are legally responsible to protect the health information of our consumers. special law mandates the way in which we store and share information. All consumers we work with need to be given a privacy statement, which explains how their health information will be used and their rights under this new privacy law.

What information does HIPAA protect? The HIPAA regulation safeguards Protected Health Information (P.H.I) which includes:  Health (Diagnosis)  Provision of Care (Services received)  Payment of Services (How payment will be made)  Information which identifies the individual (Name, Address, social security number, etc)

When can P.H.I. be shared? Protected health Information (PHI) may be shared for:  Treatment (e.g., for day program or residential services, clinic, etc)  Payment (e.g. billing for services)  Health Care Operations (e.g. such as quality assurance, program oversight) In most instances you do not need the consumers consent for these purposes unless you are sharing sensitive information (e.g. HIV/AIDS information, mental health records) that is protected by special state laws.

When sharing information for Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations, how much information should I share ? For the purpose of payment and health care operations, the minimum information necessary should be shared For the purpose of treatment the concept of minimum necessary should not impede the free flow of information necessary to ensure comprehensive treatment.

When do I need a special consent to share P.H.I. Under most circumstances, it would be necessary to get the consent of the consumer or his/her representative to release their P.H.I. (e.g. marketing, publicity, referrals to non treatment programs such as recreation, etc) In these cases, it is very important to explain too the consumer what they are agreeing to and to use the agency’s standard authorization form.

Are there other circumstances where information may be disclosed without consent? There are a number of possible situations where this information can be disclosed for “public need” purpose without consent. These include, but no limited to the following:  Government audits and investigations  Public healthy and safety  A subpoena from court

What are the steps professionals need to take to protect the consumers PHI’s Discussion: Don’t discuss information about the consumer in a public place where others can overhear. Files:Make sure files are kept where unauthorized people cannot see them and that they are locked away when not in use. Fax:When sending a fax, make sure an authorized person is on the other end to receive it. ComputersAll computers should be password protected. Never share your computer password with anyone else. Your computer screen should face way from public area/view. DO NOT SEND PHI BY S UNLESS IT IS ENCRYPTED

How do I dispose of documents containing PHI? Anything containing PHI has to be disposed of in a way that makes the information unreadable. (i.e. use a shredder)

If I don’t know whether or not to give out the information, whom should I speak to You should speak to your supervisor or agency’s designated privacy officer.
