HIPAA Requirements & Allowed ActivitiesWe understand that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) may create some questions about appropriate access to protected health information. Therefore, we are providing information to clarify the access that Keystone Mercy Health Plan is afforded under the HIPAA Privacy Regulations. These regulations, effective April 14, 2003, permit a health plan (such as Keystone Mercy Health Plan) to request health care information about its members for purposes of treatment, payment and/or health plan operations (TPO) without the member's prior consent/authorization. This includes access to a member's medical records when necessary and appropriate. The HIPAA Privacy Regulations permit such use by health plans in order to promote ready access to treatment for its membership and efficient payment for health care services rendered. Further, the HIPAA Privacy regulations provide that a covered entity (such as you) may disclose PHI to another covered entity (Keystone Mercy Health Plan) for heath care operations activities of the entity that receives the information (Keystone Mercy Health Plan), if each entity has or had a relationship with the individual who is the subject if the PHI being requested (our member/your patient), and that disclosure pertains to heath care operations. "TPO" disclosures include, but are not limited to, the following: Activities that can constitute "Treatment" include but may not be limited to:
Activities that constitute "Payment" include but may not be limited to:

We hope this information is helpful in clarifying our right to access the protected health information of your patients and our members. If you have any questions, please contact your Provider Network Management Representative. |
