About This Course

This course delivers an introduction to HIPAA compliance for administrators and office managers of Business Associate entities. The Business Associate category includes answering services, medical billing, medical transcription, software/IT companies, marketing agencies, cleaning services, medical device manufactures, legal services, consultants, and similar healthcare-adjacent services.

If you're an office manager or admin involved in the use or disclosure of protected health information on behalf of a covered entity, this course is for you.

We'll summarize what you need to know to comply with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), including the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the HIPAA Security Rule, and the Enforcement Rule that applies to HIPAA violations.

You'll also discover how the 2021/2022 updates for the ONC 21st Cures Act Final Rule and the CMS Final Rule changed the game.

We'll provide a certificate of completion for your records, and you'll earn 0.2 IACET-approved CEUs.
