Did you know…
HIPAA audits for the dental practices continue to rise. Patient complaints are the number one reason you may be targeted and chosen for a HIPAA audit. The employee that most commonly sparks these reports? Your reception team. And it’s typically not because they are not dedicated, conscientious employees. It’s because they may not be HIPAA savvy enough…
Since 2013, under the new HIPAA Omnibus Rules, lack of understanding these new HIPAA laws and required business protocols, use of improper verbal skills, use of obsolete HIPAA forms and lack of providing a private patient “check-in and check-out” experience, all can lead to HIPAA havoc. These days, patients commonly leave a healthcare facility and report HIPAA violations right from their phones in your parking lot! This leads to insidious HIPAA audits and can also be the source of hefty penalties and fines.
