OUR
COMPLIANCE POLICY
The
misuse of Personal Health Information (PHI) has been identified
as a national problem causing patients inconvenience and aggravation.
Audiology Consultants of Southwest Florida (ACSWFL) wants you to
know that all of our employees and managers continually undergo
training so that they may understand and comply with government
rules and regulations regarding the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) with particular emphasis on the “Privacy
Rule”. We strive to achieve the very highest standards of
ethics and integrity in performing services for our patients.
It
is our policy to properly determine appropriate use of PHI in accordance
with the governmental rules, laws, and regulations. We want to ensure
that our practice never contributes in any way to the growing problem
of improper disclosure of PHI. As part of this plan we have implemented
a Compliance Program that we believe will help us prevent any inappropriate
use of PHI.
