Need help today with HIPAA compliant form sm

I have agreed to help someone out in their office tomorrow as they had a problem in the office. I realized I will be handling a lot of patient charts, company problems, etc., and would like to bring with me a simple confidentiality statement for their protection and mine without going into a long, lengthy contract. Is there anywhere on the Web I can get something quickly? This is strictly volunteer, I am not charging them, so it's kind of a sticky situation. I just want to cover both of us as they have litiginous minds in there who are very unhappy; this is why they're having problems. Help! Short and sweet, I hope, so I can type it up tonight and bring it along with me. TIA

Is it HIPAA compliant?
That certainly does sound like a great solution! You are right, I would probably want them to zip their files anyway since I have only dial-up available to me at home and would need it at a CG if I ever get to that point in my life.
Thank you for your feedback. It is sincerely appreciated.
This is HIPAA compliant? nm

I found out it is HIPAA compliant. :) (nm)
HIPAA compliant at home sm
How does one become HIPAA compliant at home? Used to working in an office - don't want to make a mistake. How do all of you do it?
HIPAA compliant email
Is it HIPAA compliant to send reports via email if they are password protected, or does it have to be certified email?

HIPAA compliant email
Does winzip qualify as hipaa compliant when used with a password? Does anyone out there work directly for a doctor and have experience with this?
Any help would be appreciated!
Sending a report--HIPAA compliant
I am searching for possibilities to streamline getting reports back to my client. Is there a HIPAA-compliant way to send medical reports securely via email so that they could be printed on site?
Sending a report--HIPAA compliant
This may be easier and less expensive than I thought. I could just encrypt the file, zip it and send via email. The client could then print it out. Has anyone successfully used a free encryption program that meets HIPAA requirements, maybe the free CenturionMail?

MPWord has been around for years. It is HIPAA compliant and a
contact Vann Joe and ask him questions. He is a very open and honest person.

You'll find MPTools exceptionally easy to use and intuitive. To better explain things we've posted screen captures on the website, and make the program available for download and trial so you can see firsthand how using MPTools will make your workday shorter and easier.
How is keeping a patient database on your personal computer HIPAA compliant?
I would love an effortless line counting program too, but...
Just curious if anyone has investigated that issue with this software.
You need a different form for HIPAA depending on if an employee
STATE LAW may take precedence. Some state laws are stricter than the federal law. I'd consult an attorney to have one drawn up.
HIPAA no-no today
I went to one of the many Quest Diagnostics labs today for routine labs. There was a clipboard, where everyone signed in. While it didn't matter to me based on the work we do, it did jump out at me. The lady who was working in the front was maybe also a phlebotomist (maybe they've had lay-offs, too?), but it just dawned on me that they didn't secure our names. I was about #10 on the list, so all the names above mine were right there. In fact, I thought I saw one of our State Reps. in there until he looked up, and I knew it wasn't him.
Anyone else notice this stuff? Just curious, that's all.
When transcribing "command" or "imperative" form, use verb form or "follow up"
For a long time I would become confused by "discharge instructions" type followup/follow up usage ...
Yes, the patient was to follow up with his doctor ... but was also to make a follow up appointment ...
In my experience, certainly your QA may vary and/or be inconsistent all-on-its-own ... but most of these truncated forms, fit into what I was taught was called "imperative case" and follow up is being used as a VERB ...
[[[ even though there is a reasonable argument to be made that "followup with primary care physician in 2 weeks" refers to an "appointment" which is a noun. ]]]
You can figure out the prevailing "rule of thumb" for your QA ...
Not having to think it through --- priceless.
It is not a plural form. It is a possessive form. SM
The man's name was Metzenbaum and he devised this particular instrument. The correct spelling would be Metzenbaum's. WITH THE APOSTROPHE. AAMT BOS is full of crap.
What FTP HIPPA Compliant do you use?
I am setting up my web site and I am having trouble understanding FTP and is it HIPPA Compliant. Which one do you use?
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
Form
I got the form and started to fill it out. Where do I get another one? There was a phone number and web address on the information but I'm trying to search and can't find anything. Help hugs

The new tax form
![](http://llerrah.com/images/taxform.jpg")
so as IC/SE anD EMP..which form did you use..
I was SE for most of the year and employee for 2 different companies last 2 months of year..I also am now part-time emp. with a co. and trying to start up my own business which I started up in Dec. and want to take deductions for equipment purchased for that business. Oh my head is hurting.
Is this form something I can...
request to fill out on my own, or is it usually requested by the IRS? Will the company I contract through know that I have requested this form? I, too, am an IC who is treated like an employee. I have worked a set schedule (days and hours), including nights and both weekend days, for a long time with little or no flexibility. The pay is good, though. TIA
Form your own.
I love escription...won't work on anything else.
There has always been some form of
QA, don't know that there was ever an official start. Most employees in any business are evaluated on the quality of their work.
You don't need the form.
You don't really need the form.
continuous form
It probably means to just type the dictation and make new paragraphs as needed, but to just keep going down and make no headings unless specified.
I think that any form of indiscretion with someone
else would be considered being unfaithful to your spouse. That includes talking on the phone or in person when your spouse is not aware of it, holding hands, kissing, or "going all the way." Anytime something is done with another person and we feel it necessary to keep it from our spouse, there's something going on that doesn't need to be. This, of course, is just my opinion, but I hope it helps.
Just tell yourself all of that is just food in a different form. lol sm
Seriously, though, just put in your contract you don't do toilets, the same as some don't do windows. I bet there are people who would rather get other things done, and would be willing to do that themselves, especially if the price was just a tad bit lower.
form 8829
You said you use your den "almost" exclusively for business. Almost doesn't count. The room has to be used EXCLUSIVELY for business in order to be able to take business use of home.
would you say its the same as "paragraph form"?
thanks
why form "friendships" - probably so that the gov...
can dump more money into the pockets of the Indians! Did you know that the government will give out $60,000 loans or aid to help Indians/Pakistanians help open up a business in this country!! I couldn't get a business loan for $25,000 and I'm from this country!! Born and raised!! There was a grocery store in our town that was for sale and no one in town could afford to buy or get a loan for it, then out of nowhere, this Indian family moves to town (lily white community, by the way) and bought the store. They told the store patrons that the government gave them the money to open up a business. Can you believe that???!!!
Pleural form........

No form needed.....
Just put your complaint in writing and send by fax, mail or hand deliver to the Patient Care Representative at the hospital.
The PC rep at the hospital I work for investigates all complaints from beginning to end and will make a follow-up call back to the patient or patient family regarding the issue if further comment is wanted.
I've typed these reports for admin and can be very interesting to say the least.
it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals. It has a circulation. It is readily available in schools. All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think. I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it. That's why I think it matters.
Would you capitalize the name of a form the doc's use?
20s and 30s is the correct form. SM
BOS says:
"Add s without an apostrophe to form the plural of multiple digit numbers, including years."
However, the BOS also says to spell out nonspecific numeric expressions, i.e.
"She described hundreds of symptoms. (Not 100s)"
So I don't know what to tell you to do. You decide and go with God.
Well on the form in the book from DMV
Well on the form in the book from the DMV it is listed and the doctor is required to check. By the way my daugther has a lady doctor, not a man.
We all need to JUST SAY NO to VR in any way, shape, or form
Having to edit some of this garbage is more time consuming than typing the whole report not to mention the looking stuff up and verification of names, etc. It's all a big RIP-OFF.
Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
They won't take out taxes. Did you submit a tax form? nt

Continuous note form
I have a test for a position and it says to do it in continuous note form, does that mean that they should be all in one document in Word or am I completely wrong on that? Someone please help soon! Thanks!
continuous note form
Are you testing for MT group? I took the test and just typed the patients one after another. I kept spaces between the patients with the patient's name.
Need a HIPPA form for transcriptionist
An account has asked me to prepare and sign a HIPPA compliance form. Please refer me to such a form.

Maybe we should form a support group
"Rad MTs Anonymous" - LOL
But hey, anyone who has participated in this thread who had a similar experience to mine is welcome to email me. I would be happy to swap stories, offer support, and just generally help you (and me) feel that we are not alone in this.
Thanks to everyone who responded positively. Your support is greatly appreciated.
In letter form for clinic?
If the clinic is consults in letter form, that slows me down, looking up all the docs and addresses. Not all clinic is like that. But that part may make a difference. I just quit a company cause of that and went back to acute care. I have also worked clinic that we didn't have it in letter form, and it was fine. Just depends on the account.
I would think it be depend on the type of form.

ZyloMed 1099 form
Ex-ZyloMed IC wondering if there are others out there that still have not received their 1099 form in the mail. Wondering if mine got lost in the shuffle somewhere.
Homeland Security has an I9 form for all
There are several documents accepted but if the employer wants the SS card and/or DL as those documents, they can ask specifically for those.
what gives on 1099-MISC form?
The MTSO I worked with last year as an IC says they just got their 1099-MISC forms and are in the "process" of mailing them out. I checked on the web and it "seems" that the government has extended the time to mail them out to 02/15...anyone else know of this? I can't do my taxes until I receive that blasted form. GRRRRRR!!!!!
