The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act impacts nearly every facet of the medical profession, from the phone messages that receptionists leave for patients to the kind of information shared with third parties when submitting insurance claims. If healthcare professionals breach their obligation to preserve their patients' personal information, whether they work alone or as part of an extensive practice, they could be subject to fines and other legal and professional repercussions. Healthcare professionals can learn about the requirements under HIPAA and how to comply in this course.
