ICM DBMS Health
Services Official Statement of HIPAAA
Compliance:
ICM DBMS Health Services
is compliant with the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of
1996, HIPAA
consists of three major rules with separate
effective dates. These rules are:
● The Privacy Rule
- effective date April 14th, 2003 (except for
"small health plans" who have until April 14th,
2004 to come into compliance);
● The Electronic Transaction and Code Set Rule -
effective date October 16th, 2003; and
● The Security Rule - effective date April 21st,
2005 (except "small health plans" who have until
April 21st, 2006 to come into compliance).
The proposed rules
were first published in 1999 and ICM began a
company-wide effort to prepare for compliance.
ICM's Corporate Director of Privacy and
Compliance (Privacy Officer), in conjunction
with the management team, completed for an
analysis of ICM's processes. The analysis
encompassed all aspects of the organization
including business operations, information
systems and client specific needs in each of the
three substantive categories that are covered
under the HIPAA regulations.
We have implemented nineteen confidentiality
policies to assure that personal health
information is kept strictly confidential. At
ICM, we go above and beyond the HIPAA
requirements to protect personal health
information.
