HIPAA Compliance:

HIPAA was created to protect the privacy rights of individuals and ensure that
individual patient information is only transmitted under specific rules and in
a secure manner.  Patients must be informed of their privacy rights and told
how their personal information will be handled.  HIPAA also established codes
to identify diseases, the causes of illnesses, and the treatments administered. 
These codes must be used on all electronic medical claims to avoid lawuits and service billing problems.  HIPAA regulations
that address standards for electronic health care transactions and codes are

found in the section on provisions for simplifying administrative provisions, or
Title II, Subtitle F.  Claims submission, enrollment, and referral forms must conform
to HIPAA regulations.  HIPAA also governs the transmission of health care provider

invoices and health care plan premiums.  eMedical Billing Solutions billing
professionals and facilities exceed the government's requirements.
