State HIPAA test - defeated

Posted: Oct 05, 2013

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?

One mistake I made when testing... - anon

For some reason, I missed the "pick 4" answers, and just chose one on the first couple of questions.

Every year I get the same one wrong - Trampled underfoot

I think it is in regard to sending out a copy and one of the choices is to research the correct physician, which is what I believe we're supposed to choose (along with another answer or two - like they say, you have to read the instructions carefully). I don't feel it's my responsibility to research the correct physician and there would still be an element of guesswork to it, so I don't choose that answer.

curious - just wondering

What do you do that you need to take a HIPAA test?

Confused - this is the M*Modal board so... - anon

of course the OP is an MT at M*Modal. It's a mandatory test to be taken yearly and we've received multiple reminders over the last few weeks. Have you not received any? I'm also not sure why you would be curious to know what the OP "does"?

Everyone was required to do the yearly testing by - 5 PM today. The notice went out

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 ...

I Googled "medical transcription quality India" and received 671,000 results to choose from. Indian companies are courting hospitals, doctors, and law firms in America and several other countries in order to get their business. American MTSOs that don't outsource really need to publicize it and American based transcriptionists would do well to show their solidarity by working for such companies. It is not just MQ. The industry is apparently wounded in t ...

All the threads about fighting to get paid minimum wage (you go, girls!) make me incredibly sad. So I started reminiscing about my early days in the profession.... In the good ole days, we were paid a fair, decent rate. In the good ole days, we got to interact with the docs we transcribed for. If you had a blank, he would tell you what it was! In the good ole days, we got an extra paycheck and a generous gift for Christmas. (One year I got a small cooler filled with seafood ...

I found out that the goverment is putting a stop to treating ICs as employees and ICs are not getting employee benefits. I was told today that the new laws require and IC to register under a trade name in their State. There is no license involved. I tried to get info on line on how to do it but no luck. The offices are closed now so I will have to wait until Monday. As anyone else done this. ...

I was just laid off last Thursday. For MTs that live in the State of Tennessee and have recently gotten laid off, how hard did you find it to filling out that log sheet to prove that you are looking for a job while drawing UE benefits. I noted that one has to log in that log sheet 3 different companies that they are actually looking for work weekly. There are only so many online MT jobs that one could contact. I noted they mention job fairs, private employmen ...

This may be a stupid question, but is the minimum for lines expected changed in a state where the minimum wage is higher? I was fired in June for not reaching the min daily line count and went below 99% on 2 of the 3 weeks I was on probation. Illinois has an $8.25 min wage. I was at 98.25% for 2 out of the 3 weeks. (I know that has nothing to do with my question...) I want to remind everybody AGAIN, if you are threatened in any way about losing your job, FIND A WAY TO COPY THE EMAILS! I ...

I've heard that in Washington State you have to pay a tax called "business and occupation taxes". Is this true? If so what does it cost? Looking at moving to Washington State and trying to figure out all the taxes beforehand (if there would be a benefit business wise to move out of Oregon). Here in OR I pay a business tax of $50/year. Just wondering what all the taxes in Washington would be. If anyone is not sure, can you direct me to where I might find this o ...

I have been in the interview process with a national and was informed state tax would not be withheld. In that case, they would also not be paying into unemployment in my state. I am trying to protect myself in the event I need unemployment for lack of work or lay offs in the future and this was a real let down to me regarding this company. Is this how most nationals work? ...

I have an interview with a hospital that will not take out state taxes, but does take out federal taxes. The hospital is in a state where no state taxes are required, but I live in a state where I have to pay. How does this process work and what would this entail for me if I get an offer on this job? It provides health insurance, medical, dental, and vision, but no state taxes. Will that affect social security? Anyone know the process and percentage to withhold, how ...

If you work at home and live in a state that has no state tax but work for a company located in a state that has state income tax, do they take state tax out of your pay for the state that the company is located in or do you pay no state tax due to the state you live in? I just started a new company this week and was curious. ...

State is cali, and they're broke but the position is temporary (2 years) and with full benefits. The person who called me said he will be doing his best to push my application forward in the least amount of time but may take up to 3-4 months to actually get the job. Pay is in the low 30,000 range but better than I'm making now plus steady work that will give me a year or two to be able to pay my bills while exploring other career options/schooling once this dries up.

I'm sure that this question has been asked and answered before, but wanted to bring it up again. Have any of you ever applied for an MT position for a clinic or hospital that was out of state and asked if you could work from home for the clinic/hospital, and you were hired by the clinic/hospital? I see so many ads for MTs, but none are in my state and more than most times, they don't list whether telecommuting is an option (perhaps it is assumed in that regard that the posi ...
