Traci,
You will still need to maintain (and track)
those signed-acknowledgements. In the Committee’s plan, it seems that
there will be many more acknowledgements to maintain.
I hope that this helps.
Your questions are always welcome.

I
just want to run this by everyone, in our HIPAA committee meeting today we have
decided to provide a NPP and get a signed acknowledgement of receipt with each
admission to home care services, even if the patient was previously receiving
services from our agency.
The
reasoning is, with the rapid turnover of our patients it would be extremely
difficult to track which "edition" of our NPP a patient had received,
and since our patients sometimes are re-admitted to our services years down the
road it would allow us to make sure we had documentation that the NPP had
been given.
We
may put a section on our acknowledgement form for the patient to check/sign if
they are refusing a copy due to previous receipt.
I
think this should cover us pretty well……. any cons to the plan?
