-- Dental practices, as with all healthcare providers, must abide by HIPAA rules and regulations. This includes any dental office sending claims, pre-determinations, claim status inquiries, eligibility requests and treatment authorizations via electronic means. Furthermore, in the event an office transmits one or more of these transactions to a payer directly or does so with the help of a business associate who, as a result, gains access to health information that is individually identifiable, these regulations apply. As a result, every dental office needs to ensure they have the tools needed to comply with these regulations and PACT-ONE Solutions, Inc. can be of help.
"Dental offices need to focus on their patients, not rules and regulations they may not fully understand. This is where a third-party network management provider (https://www.pact-one.com/services/network-management-support/) becomes of great assistance. They ensure the office remains HIPAA-compliant at all times and protected health information is handled properly," Dan Edwards, spokesperson for PACT-ONE Solutions, Inc., explains.
Every employee of the dental office must abide by HIPAA rules and regulations. All must be trained with regard to procedures regarding the use, disclosure, and safeguarding of patients' protected health information. Employees may believe this only applies when it comes to patients and colleagues, but in actuality it also applies to third-party providers as well as business associates.
"Any time a new person is hired by the practice, he or she must be educated regarding the rules and regulations as well as the computer systems. However, humans make mistakes, and this is where a third-party provider can be of help. We work to ensure the system remains up and running at all times and to provide backup and recovery services when needed," Edwards continues.
HIPAA's requirements may be confusing to dental offices, which is why many practices opt to make use of a company offering network management support and more. With the help of this provider, a practice feels confident knowing they have the tools needed to comply with HIPAA and support at their fingertips when required. Furthermore, this provider proactively monitors the system to detect problems early and alerts the practice when something goes wrong.
