HIPAA

MedCost Benefit Services can simplify Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance with the expert administrative support you need. We will assist our clients by providing:

• Notice of Privacy Practices
• Certificates of Creditable Coverage (at loss of coverage and by request)
• Request for Evidence of Creditable Coverage Certificate (at enrollment)
• Notice for Declining Coverage
• Up-to-date, fully compliant HIPAA wording for health plan’s Summary Plan Description

Most group health plans, insurers, and health care providers are required to comply with the stringent HIPAA privacy standards, so it is important to understand how these standards affect health plan administration. Improper handling of these federally mandated regulations can result in hefty fines and/or potential lawsuits.

Because of the complicated requirements associated with HIPAA, it is difficult—and time consuming—to achieve and maintain compliance. Contact MedCost today to find out how we can make HIPAA administration easier for you.
