Our HIPAA Committee has decided to not require consents based on the information we have today. I am wondering what other health plans have decided to do? Do other health plans currently require some sort of consent or authorization to be signed at the time of enrollment now? If so and have decided to discontinue the process, are you using the privacy compliance date to change your procedure or are you changing it now? Are there any legal concerns associated with not having a consent or is this impossible to know until after 4/2003?
Thank to all, Melissa Waterhouse Compliance SummaCare Health Plan. ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, go to: http://snip.wedi.org/unsubscribe.cfm?list=privacy and enter your email address.
