there's no HIPAA 'certification'... you just need to know the guidelines and observe them.  if you're ever audited they're not gonna look for certification but to make sure you're compliant with all of their rules.

They certainly don't hurt anything.  I look for experience, knowledge, and skills, and then the certs are a bonus.  They mean nothing by themselves.  If you are thinking of going into business for yourself, having a cert is even more important.  It especially helps when you are communicating to someone non-technical, like insurance providers, CEO's, etc.  They like to see the cert designations.

In your letter that came in the mail saying you are certified, it should give you proof there, or there is a website and a number you can go to where you type in your social security number.\n\ngo here to search the nurse aid registry\nhttp://www.idph.state.il.us/nar/home.htm\n\ngood luck, Abs

No HIPAA has nothing to do with voting by absentee. Anyone really can vote absentee. And no absentee ballots are kept in your Hospital charts.

I don't know what the requirements are in Hong Kong, but you don't need a certificate in the US (at least not in WA or AK). Certification is optional, and may or may not impress US employers.

Oh, wonderful, another MT!!!\n\nHIPAA has five "titles" - it's basically about protection of an individual's medical information.  \n\nTitle I protects the individual's right to healthcare coverage when changing jobs and protects denial of coverage with a new employer because of preexisting conditions.\n\nTitle II is about privacy and security.  Medical privacy rights on protected health info.  Ensuring confidentiality and security of electronic health information and setting  standards for electronic signatures.\n\nTitles III, IV, and V will address health provisions, group health care requirements, and revenue offsets.\n\nHow it affects an MT is that you need to protect any medical information that you have access to.  For example, if your computer is in an area where others can see your screen, you need to have a privacy screen on your computer.\n\nHope this is enough info.  If not, contact me.

Depends on your certification and what your employer wants.

Nothing to do with HIPAA.

Is your cert through the Red Cross, Heart Association, or some other group?\n\nIf Red Cross, it might be OK. Pop into your nearest Red Cross chapter house and see.\n\nWe are in the midst of changing protocols anyway, so this might be a good time to renew everything one way or the other.

Ive never heard of a federal cert, but you can be state certified. Look into Certified Nursing Assistant requirements for your state. You will have to take a short course and a state board exam to become certified. Look into the Red Cross in your area also. I know the red cross has a course. I took it before I went to nursing school.

HIPAA laws say that you are obligated to a copy of your medical records.  Call your doctor's office and they should comply (some may charge you a copy fee).

HIPAA is stupid, our rights are no better protected now then they were before!  All of our personal records and information are out there on stupid computers to be accessed by anyone with any know how...stupid HIPAA!

Good luck...its hard to unring the bell sometimes. Your existing medical records are out there and there is little you can do to "erase" them.\n\nYou can limit some of the future information from getting too wide spread.  A new federal law on medical privacy, HIPAA, went into effect April 14, 2003.  See the link below
