What is HIPAA
.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is a far-reaching piece of federal legislation, designed to simplify the transmission of health care data, protect insurance coverage when employees change or lose their jobs, and safeguard the privacy of health information. HIPAA creates new rules for the collection, storage and transmission of health care information.

  1. Electronic Transaction Standards and Code Sets
  2. Privacy Standards

HIPAA Program Details
Pages are designed in PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor scripting language).

Providers login to a secure web site (SSL) and transmit encrypted data. The data is stored on a secure sever and an email is sent to the administrator that data was transmitted.

A MySQL database is used to store the file name information. The database contains tables for users and files. Each table contains several different fields.

The data is stored on a secure server at the clearinghouse company.

After the provider is logged in their actions are tracked using timed sessions. The sessions expire after the provider has completed the data upload.

Web Site Pages:

  • Members Sign Up Page - contains a form with a provider name field, contact field, email field, phone number field and submit/reset buttons. After the provider signs in they are taken to the members login page.
  • Sign Up Success Page - contains a message that the signup process worked. The system administrator and provider are sent an email indicating the signup process was successfully.
  • Members Login Page - contains a form with a username field, password field and a submit button. The password is encrypted before being transmitted. From here the member can login to the secure site and be taken to the secure data upload page.
  • Upload Data Page - contains 5 upload data fields and submit/reset buttons. From here the provider can upload up to 5 files at a time.
  • Success Page - contains a message which indicates the data has been uploaded successfully. An email is sent to the system administrator indicating file(s) have been transmitted.
