Introduced into public law in 1996 HIPAA is intended to protect healthcare information maintained by Health Care Practitioners regarding their patients. Protected Health Information (PHI) refers to any and all information collected for treating, diagnosis, and claim reimbursement that is transmitted or stored by electronic means, or otherwise (Act CFR 164.501).
All Health Care Practitioners are required to conform under Act 45 CFR 160.13. Fines for non-compliance are steep yet easily avoided by outsourcing your billing to the experienced professionals at AMM.
The first two major deadlines for complying with HIPAA passed on April 15 and October 16, 2003. If you are overdue in submitting the required documents give us a call for assistance and to get your practice back on the right track.
We offer a total reimbursement solution to providers, from just electronic filing of claims all the way up to full practice management or any combination of services in between. Our services include yearly code update, Procedure Code Analysis, chart audits, electronic claims processing, filing secondary and tertiary claims, patient statements , follow up with insurance companies and patients as well as providing you with monthly reports to assist you in making more informed financial decisions about your practice. We offer these services at prices which save you money when compared to what it is currently costing you. We can prove this using the figures that you yourself supply using detailed Claims Cost Analysis.
