BenefitsMedical providers and others (health plans, vendors, etc.) who retain medical or health records are often subjected to complex and conflicting requirements to maintain the confidentiality and restrict the disclosure of the information. Complex and overlapping rules and regulations impose rigid requirements that must be met before information is released, and require medical record repositories to retain the records for often-conflicting time periods. This teleconference will outline the sources of the laws and regulations that govern the ability and duty of such repositories to release such information; their obligations to retain medical records in their possession; and the confidentiality obligations of such record holders, the impact of those laws, and how to establish policies and systems to ensure those laws are met. This teleconference will specifically outline the requirements of the
Health Insurance
Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated there under, which have been substantially upgraded in the recently-passed stimulus bill and made applicable to entities that were not subject to
HIPAA before. This teleconference will also identify common state statutory and regulatory schemes that deal with medical record release and retention. It will also offer some advice, tips and sample policies that can be used by medical providers and other record holders to help ensure compliance with these wide-reaching laws and regulations.
