The U.S. federal government created the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and it was enforced as a federal law in 1996. This act is aimed at protecting private information of patients. Thus, it involves healthcare professionals such as doctors and nurses and also healthcare managers, medical record technicians, lab technicians, medical transcriptionists, healthcare companies, medical suppliers and others who have direct or indirect access to patient records.

There are various agencies that offer HIPAA certification courses for employees. However, in terms of quality and affordability, HIPAA Exams offer the best courses. For a number of years, HIPAA Exams have been offering different types of HIPAA training including, HIPAA Awareness, HIPAA Security, and HITECH 2009, etc.

To receive a HIPAA certification you must do the following:

� To become certified, you must enroll in a certification program and pass an exam at the end of it.

� You will have to buy a course or enroll in one and study the material.

� A guide is also provided along with it to help you through the course. The study materials incorporate case studies based on real life experiences so that the trainees can understand it better.

� Although an entire course can take approximately two hours to go through, you can take as much time as you want to finish it. Once you�re done, you can take the exam online and print the certificate for yourself.
To buy a HIPAA certification program you must do the following:

� Buying a HIPAA certification program involves you connecting to the HIPAA Exams website and signing up or heading to another place offering the course and registering.

� The training center generally provides online training at very economical costs. It also offers unlimited support most often for fee, with limited access like three month free access, and the ability to instantly print your completion certificate. The icing on the cake is that there are often no processing or sign-up fees.

� All you need to do is enter the number of the training course you want to buy. You can buy the program from more than one user, too.

� As soon as your money is received, you can access the HIPAA course. Now you are free to take your time to study the course and write your exam.

� Once you�re done, you can print out your certificate immediately.

HIPAA certification program includes:

� The certification course provided by training places is generally an all-inclusive course that includes information about HIPAA laws, administrative simplifications, accountability, insurance reform, electronic transaction standards, privacy and security rule, HIPAA compliance, and implications and penalties for non-compliance.

� Other inclusions are administrative requirements of security and privacy, privacy standards, patient rights, consent, notice, protecting policy, authorization, and so on.

� In addition, it also incorporates physical and technical safeguards, media and device control, workstation use, security management procedures, etc.

� HIPAA certification program also covers FAQs, HIPAA implementation procedures, HITECH 2009/2010, overview of change in regulations, and privacy rights.
