HIPAA HITECH Compliance Services: Covered Entities & Business Associates

BA Trackertm

BA Trackertm is a free service for covered entities to keep track of the compliance level of their business associates (BA).  The BA pays a small fee and fills out a monthly attestation form which includes a quiz on HIPAA HITECH.  Their score is reflected through the Compliance Metertm.

The Compliance Master Program

The Compliance Master Program allows a small privacy and information security team to manage an entire enterprise remotely. They can distribute their standard policies, procedures, and forms to their units and then allow them to edit them to fit their business model with oversight and approval from the team. This provides flexibility along with transparency in an efficient cloud computing model. A small team can manage hundreds of units without every leaving their office. The step by step process assures that a comprehensive program is in place and the maintenance service provides documentation of their monthly compliance activities. Please contact Jack Anderson at jack@compliancehelper.com for further information or a quote.

The Compliance Cooperative (CO-OP)

A huge challenge created by the HITECH Act is how to get hundreds of thousands of small covered entities, business associates (BAs) and Sub-Contractors (Subs) compliant with a program that meets the “reasonable and appropriate” standard set by HIPAA. The other problem is, how does a covered entity (CE) or BA get “satisfactory assurance” that those small BAs are compliant?
The HIPAA HITECH Compliance Cooperative (CO-OP) elegantly meets both challenges. The criteria for belonging to a CO-OP are; members must share a common business model and have five employees or fewer. Examples are physician practices, insurance brokers, coders, billers, and transcriptionists.
This program is set up on a CO-OP website where members may join and share the use of the program. The members must review and abide by the policies and procedures in the program but don’t have to go through what may be for them a time-consuming editing process. They receive read-only access so they may look at and print anything but they can’t change anything.
The members are enrolled in the maintenance program from Compliance Helper and they receive a monthly task list that they must accomplish to stay in compliance. In addition they receive updates and revisions to their policies, procedures, and forms as the standards change and evolve. This active program helps to avoid “willful neglect”.
The setup up charge is $125 and monthly maintenance is $35 per month making it affordable for even the smallest Sub.
