Re: HIPPA Regulations related to medical and psychiatry transcription??
Amber, I'm the HIPAA compliance officer at my day job (hospital and physician offices) and if you are working with psyc patient files, you are no doubt aware the HIPAA regs are very stringent. Be sure you follow the privacy and security guidelines to the letter for a remote office. If you consider this for a niche and would be considered a business associate, under the revised regs in the stimulus package, you would be required to follow the same privacy and security rules as the facility....policies, training, enforcement, and so on.
