HIPAA
Code Remediation Services
Deadlines
for mandatory compliance with the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are fast approaching.
Internal resources will likely be stretched to the limit
to handle this new "crisis." Not only may
millions of lines of code have to be examined, analyzed,
and remediated to meet HIPAA guidelines, you will have
to train your staff in the intricacies of the new transaction
and code sets before they can even effectively start
the process.
Many
health care organizations compare the HIPAA deadlines
to the Y2K preparation frenzy. At Optimus, we've built
on our success in helping clients meet these challenges
and have applied that expertise to the HIPAA marketplace.
Our extensive experience has taught us that enterprise-level
remediation requires both manual and automated tools
and methodologies. In addition, both approaches require
in-depth technical assessment before remediation begins.
During assessment, we'll determine the correct combination
of manual and automated remediation methods. Then Optimus
will work with you or train your personnel to extensively
test the renovated code in your environment to ensure
compliance.
