The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates that
all health care providers implement compliance programs as a condition of enrollment in the Federal health care programs. The
effective date of this requirement for physician practices is forthcoming, so
now is the time for
providers of every size and type to get their compliance
plans in place.
The Department of Health and Human Services has begun
conducting HIPAA audits called for under the HITECH Act. To be prepared in
event of a HIPAA audit, health care providers should act now to
make sure their HIPAA policies and procedures are current and effective.
