Email HIPAA Compliance with Templates
Using the templates, Email Encryption subscribers are able to select from among a pre-built list of rules to determine which emails contact protected health information (PHI) and need to be encrypted.
Our HIPAA-compliant templates include pre-determined compliancy code sets, keywords, and policies built from the most current industry information, including:
- Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) - American Medical Association’s CPT® codes and their descriptions are the most common form of communicating a health-related service
- International Classification of Diseases (ICD) – The most common form of communicating a disease or condition. Both 9th and 10th Clinical Modifications are included (ICD 9/10 CM)
- Health Care Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) - The common form of communicating ancillary services and supplies that are billed to third party insurers
- National Drug Codes (NDC) - the common codes for medications that are prescribed or ordered. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) mandate the format for NDC codes
- Claims Adjustment Reason Codes and Remark Codes (CARC/RARC) - the most common standards used by health insurers to describe a payment made for a service line that has been submitted on a claim
- Inpatient Fee For Service Codes (FFS) - These codes are used to designate inpatient fees incurred by a patient
- National Provider Identifier (NPI) - NPI is a unique 10-digit code number that the CMS issues to registered healthcare providers in the US and is used by payers such as insurance companies to issue payment to the provider
- US Social Security Numbers – Social Security Numbers have become a de facto form of national identification and historically used in health care related activities for ID purposes
- Protected Health Information (PHI) - Keywords indicating a likely inclusion of some PHI
The HIPAA templates are included at no additional charge with our policy-based Email Encryption service.
