The HIPAA Training, Quiz, and the State Privacy Laws should take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. Nonexempt (hourly paid) employees should take this course during regularly scheduled working hours to avoid incurring overtime.
If you are an MT or MME, you will be compensated for 45-60 minutes of training time. Please contact your Customer Care Manager before starting this course to obtain his/her approval of the time you plan to take the course. This will ensure that production is adequately covered while you take the training.

Allocate the time spent to Continuing Education.
Thank you so very much. I looked all over but - Cathy

not under "employee orientation." Just finished my shift and checked back now to see if anyone answered. This is why my "thank you" is so late. Really appreciate your replies.
I get why they do these webinar things, but honestly, the person narrating sounds like she herself is bored.
I try to follow it, take notes, but know deep down that when I do the test very little of it will have been absorbed, so am resigned to taking the test any number of times.
It's kind of like watching a weather report you are waiting for, yet then when it comes on you realize you have completely blanked and it's over. I have a real problem focusing on webinars. ...
Are we supposed to be paid for that mandatory HIPAA training module thing? If so, do we get paid for that time only, or do we also get paid for the time we took the test at the end? And what do we clock in under Webclock for it?
I emailed my TSM about this 2 days ago, but big suprise, she never replied.
Thanks! ...
So I read the below post about the email circulating among some employers (including mine) about this mandatory class and test for HIPAA. This is an excerpt from what I received today in my inbox:
I am getting some questions about the mandatory HIPAA class being unpaid. Let me clarify why this is the case. Taking the class is mandatory, but unpaid because it is a legal requirement and can be taken at your own pace, on your own time. We are actually helping you to protect ...
Is there a website that offers HIPAA training for Business Associates for free? I work as a subcontractor for iMedX, and we're required to show proof of annual training. Last year I took a quick course online for $20 and got a certificate. I'm just wondering if there is a cheaper alternative. iMedX has offered no guidance about where to get our training. Thanks! ...
I was offered a position with a company who requires a HIPAA certificate, and I was wondering where others have gone online to obtain that and if anyone could suggest any that were under $20.
Thanks! ...
Has anyone else had a problem with the state HIPAA test part of the HIPAA exam? I passed the first, standard HIPAA exam without a problem, but no matter what I put or don't put on the state exam, I keep getting marked as Incorrect on a couple of them. Going back over the test and re-answering according to the answers given only results in an Incorrect also. I've done this over and over and could cry, but I'm also furious. Any suggestions? ...
Hi,
I need a quick check on HIPAA rules. With respect to the health care debate, I want to write to my senator, etc., about a situation with a patient I transcribed on.
The only info. I intend to give is that the patient was a: Russian immigrant, on welfare and receiving Medicaid benefits--when he should not have. He and his "sponsor(s)" was responsible for his care and living expenses.
Further, I transcribed a note in which the doctor said that this patient wanted to re-sched ...
My husband went in to have blood tests done for a new blood pressure medication he is on and when he left the house to get an RX filled, the nurse from the doctor's office called to tell him the results of his blood tests. Out of curiosity (testing the HIPAA thing), I asked her if his potassium level was okay and SHE TOLD ME that all his levels were fine except blood sugar was a little high! Not only that, I then asked her what new medication had been prescribed and SHE TOLD ME THAT ALSO! M ...
I failed to cc a physician they said so I got a 3.0 deduction on a dictation. First one I have ever got. I haven't got an email or anything yet. I just saw it on one of my corrections. I haven't gotten anything from FIESA yet. ...
I am trying to get a grasp on understanding HIPAA. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find "easy-to-understand" HIPAA rules? I have a doct that I type his documents in Word and print them to letterhead for him and then hand-deliver them myself to his office. Is this breaking HIPAA rules? I just need to know what I have to be doing to be HIPAA-compliant and not aware of the facts. Thanks for any input! ...
if we are to be held responsible for any kind of so-called 'security breach' which can be so easily manipulated to either just get ridf US MTs or at least make life a iving ____ for those of us left in these jobs (for example, if your reports are not 100% perfect - because 98-100% would no longer make sense because an error is an error and all are a security risk and breach - (this is so ridiculous I almost cannot even write it)); however, an MT can and will be fired for such? Im ...
I had to take my 18 year old daughter to the ER the other night because she cut her finger (not seriously thank goodness). Being a medical transcriptionist I was rather surprised, she was not given any type of HIPAA form to sign, was not told anything about HIPAA, I thought everyone had to sign one. I always have received a form when I went to the doctor or the hospital but she signed absolutely nothing. Is this something new or is it a HIPAA violation since she did not sign an ...
I've searched and searched and can't find an answer. Is there a HIPAA rule that dictates how long voice files, particularly voice recognition files, are supposed to be kept in archive? Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction
...
First of all....isn't any medical report being typed out of our country by a another country that isn't required to follow HIPAA regulations.....well a HIPAA violation? Not to mention a potential homeland security risk!
Secondly, is anyone else bothered by being instructed to type the patient's name in the body of a report? According to HIPAA regulations, the patient's name is NOT to be typed in the body of any medical report. We are all violating HIPAA by doing this ...
So, my ex-husband of 15 years called my and my son's doctor's office and gets all of our medical and billing information (son is 21). Takes those documents and files suit in court against me using the documents he obtained fraudulently to claim that I have lied about the cost of our son's medical bills (he has been ordered three times to to pay 50% of those costs which only amount to about $2,800). Y'all get that? He committed fraud in order to prove that I have committ ...

"..and there are no such places as you describe any longer. I have been working for an MTSO that treats their ICs as employees without all the "benefits," but also looking for something else along the way. I have not found ONE...not ONE service that takes true ICs any longer."
This is called painting with a very broad brush. How can you claim that as accurate? Saying 'no such places' means you have literally checked into, inquired and e ...
When a consultant's office calls the referred patient, is that office allowed to say the name of their office? Ex: Got a call from a GI office for my husband. The woman gave her first name and said she needed his medical hx before she could schedule an appointment. I asked what office she was from, and she said she couldn't say because of HIPAA but that it was a referral from his PCP. Is it true that because of HIPAA we can't even know who's ...
I posted earlier about a HIPAA violation I believe the company I am subcontracting for is committing. I'm considering filing a complaint, but not sure what this would entail. Before I go too far into it, has anyone filed a complaint against an 'employer,' for lack of a better term, as I am a subcontractor & not an employee? This issue is weighing heavily on my mind. I do have proof of emails sent back and forth that are not encrypted or secured in any way containing reports with t ...
