Gregory,
Just to amplify on Judith's remarks,
You are exposed to the risk NOW, not when the final Security
Rule fully kicks in.
You are accepting a huge risk anytime you expose PHI to the
Internet. Remenber that any of the millions of computers on the net can
read this if they so choose. Strong encryption appears to be the only way
to protect PHI on the Internet.
If you would consider putting the information on a post card,
perhaps it might be far enough away from PHI to consider mentioning it in an
e-mail. E-mail can be accessed by many more people than typical a post
card will be exposed to.
As to your third question, there are four (at least) WEDI
listserves that cover various portions of the topics you mentioned:
Privacy, Security, Transactions, and Code
Sets.
Pick the ones that serve your needs the best.
The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily the opinion of
LCMH.
