Studying about staying healthy is not necessarily the most pleasant of activities, especially when you are obliged to do it as a job qualification. If all the legal terms, vague definitions, and endless requirements you have learned during your Texas HB 300 training have left you a bit confused, this article comes to your aid by underlining the most important aspects regarding Texas HB 300. The information is condensed in the form of key points so as to make it easier for you to understand this new law.
� Covered entities are mandated by law to provide adequate Texas HB 300 training both to existing employees and to new hires. For new employees, the deadline for receiving training is two months since their start date. The method of training chosen is at the covered entity�s discretion as long as employees receive a certificate upon successful completion of the training program.
� These institutions are required to keep statements signed by employees to prove their attendance at a Texas HB 300 training program. Texas HB 300 training certificates should be renewed at least once every two years in order to keep up with any changes in legislation.
� If not authorized or requested by either state or federal law, the selling of protected health information (PHI) is prohibited. Other types of patient health information disclosures are also forbidden and punishable by law.
� Any type of business associate that deals with a covered entity and handles PHI is also bound by the same rules and regulations. This includes contractors, attorneys, insurers, and a number of other professions.
� Any accidental and unauthorized disclosure of PHI has to be reported by the covered entity to the patient. If certain information is prone to disclosure, the covered entity has to inform the patient of this fact the moment that particular information is created or received.
� In general, institutions are not permitted to disclose PHI without an authorization from the patients or from their legal representatives. There are, however, certain exceptions to this rule: when disclosure is made for reasons of payment, treatment, health care operations, or insurance purposes.
� Covered entities using electronic health records systems are obliged to send any information required by a patient in a maximum of 15 business days since receiving the request to do so.
� Any violations in regards to Texas HB 300 are punishable by civil and federal fines. Additionally, covered entities that fail to comply with the law are subject to investigations or even disciplinary proceedings. They may be placed on probation, suspension, or have their licenses revoked if that particular individual or institution is covered by the Texas Medical Board, or another Texas agency.
These are the key points you will need to remember from your Texas HB 300 training course. Like any other law, the Texas House Bill may be difficult to understand and grasp at first, especially for the average citizen, but knowing the facts presented in this article should suffice to comply with the regulations.
