HIPAA Privacy Rules and the Pregnancy Center
Posted: 07 Dec 2004 11:15 AM |
Lately we have recieved a number of questions from current and potential customers regarding HIPAA compliance. In short, it does not appear most pregnancy centers are required to meet these federal requirements.
Here is a quote taken from an article by Kurt Entsminger published by At the Center Magazine (www.atcmag.com):
===============
The good news for pregnancy centers is that most are not covered by these new federal requirements. If your pregnancy center is not a health care provider, the new HIPAA privacy rules should have no application to your procedures and practices. Moreover, even if your center offers limited medical services such as ultrasounds or STD testing, it may be exempt from the requirements of HIPAA so long as it does not engage in electronic transactions related to insurance claims and payments.
Source: Kurt Entsminger, an attorney, is president of Care Net and has been a leader in promoting standards of excellence for all pregnancy centers and in drafting proposed legislation to make ultrasounds more accessible to pregnancy center clients. Kurt previously served as a U.S. Attorney during the Reagan and Bush administrations.
