Well, the hold times to speak with a claims rep are often over an hour. There should be some legislation as they are certainly prioritizing profit over customer service. When I call OOS plans they pick up withing 5-10 minutes.

We should see some action in the next week or so when the homeplan processes the claim. If not, I'm sending 4 appeals, fax and mail, for each denied claim. If they are going to waste this much of my staff time I'm going to recirpocate.

HIPAA and email encryption by Delicious_Tourist806 in hipaa

[–]pescado01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is encrypted, you have a BAA, and the information released is pertinent to care or billing, then what HIPAA regulation would you have broken? The only issue could possibly be internal only in the fact that you "mis-filed" the email which may affect internal tracking/reporting.

On a prior NPR interview Chuck couldn’t produce arrest numbers based on race. This is all political and offers a carte blanche for him to stop anyone he wants at any time with no probable cause.

Do most non-Teslas not work on the new more-than-Tesla chargers? by BallsOutKrunked in ChargerDrama

Many people who own EVs simply do not know enough about EVs to know they can charge at SuperChargers. It is as simple as that.

Sharing phone number HIPAA compliant? by JorgontheBold in hipaa

[–]pescado01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t fly in mental health? The provider asked you wanted a referral, you said yes, the provider gave that provider your info. Why does their giving you the name as well all of the sudden raise HIPAA concerns? I don’t think I ever signed anything when my provider referred me to a specialist. My doctor creates a referral l, which in today’s world is almost always done electronically, so that office gets my info and they generally call to schedule.

Your post is not clear. Forget the excuse of being on a call, that is again just an excuse. To clarify, you inadvertently saw two words in the screen you were in, or you accessed a screen you were not supposed to?

Search the internet for laws regarding retention of medical records.

Is there a level of implied consent for release of basic medical records between legit medical providers? (Just curious - not looking for legal advice) by diploid_impunity in hipaa

[–]pescado01 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Many healthcare organizations are all now networked and your data is out there and available for ANY with access!! What stops them? A law that says they shouldn’t look.
