CMS and OIG

Another important consideration in the medical coding and medical billing realm concern CMS (previously HCFA) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) regarding healthcare provider's in-house compliance plan. The purpose of the compliance plan is to establish voluntary compliance programs that meet all HIPAA regulations. Every healthcare provider participating in federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid should eagerly embrace these compliance plans and help their medical coding and billing staff members to learn, understand, and adhere to these rules.

Confidentiality

People entrusted with protected information must know exactly what to do and what not to do when it comes to medical records and confidentiality rules. The medical records must be safeguarded and all security policies must be strictly adhered to, whether in an office, or when working from home.
