Course Overview
What You’ll Learn
HIPAA: The Significant Provisions examines the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It begins with a consideration of the genesis of its provisions in the National Uniform Billing Committee and in earlier attempts to impose healthcare reform. The course discusses the changes made in both group health insurance plans and individual health insurance plans with respect to the imposition of pre-existing conditions exclusions and the insurer’s ability to decline to offer coverage. Archer MSAs are explained, and the course looks closely at important MSA issues including eligibility, permissible contributions and the tax treatment of contributions and distributions.
A substantial part of HIPAA addresses the simplification of healthcare administration. Accordingly, the course examines HIPAA’s requirements concerning:
- Electronic transactions;
- Security;
- National Provider Identifiers; and
- Privacy of protected health information.
