Texas HB 300 training is one of the latest learning modules introduced for health care professionals and there are still numerous individuals and organizations that have not undergone the right training. The scope of Texas HB 300 regulations is represented by covered entities. However, this can be a quite vague and difficult to grasp concept, and understanding who exactly has to attend Texas HB 300 training and who does not might be difficult. This is why following you will find a detailed list of who should attend a Texas HB 300 training program.

� Since this training course presents a Texas legislative piece, it is only natural that the training should be mandatory to health care facilities and individuals operating within Texan boundaries. Health care professional from other states are currently only required to attend standard HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) training.

� Any individual or organization that handles protected health information (PHI) or electronic protected health information (e-PHI) is mandated to abide by the regulations of Texas HB 300 and is required to attend a training session on the matter. This includes private health care practitioners, hospitals, medical clinics, and private health care facilities.

� More specifically, every single employee working for one of the above mentioned institutions should attend Texas HB 300 training. Even maintenance staff that may, under any shape, way or form, come in contact with PHI should understand the legal regulations.

� Law firms that represent covered entities, as well as their employees, are also obliged to undergo Texas HB 300 training. More specifically, any law firm or private attorney that handles medical records, health insurance data, or health care billing data also constitutes a covered entity that needs to oblige by the Texas HB 300 regulations.

� Additionally, health care insurance companies also come into contact with PHI. Because of this, employees and managers working in such companies are required to receive proper training.

� Business associates that work with hospitals or health care professional are considered covered entities and are obliged to attend Texas HB 300 training. Businesses or individuals that were until now, exempt from having to comply with HIPAA regulations, will be required to undergo training as a result of the legislative changes brought on by the Texas House Bill. Accountants, schools, internet search providers, contractors, as well as other types of professions can very well fall under the Texas HB 300 scope.

As you can see, the list of individuals and institutions that are required to have a Texas HB 300 certificate is quite long and listing every single individual that can be required to attend training is a virtually impossible task. Nonetheless, the information provided above should help you better understands who needs to attend Texas HB 300 training.If you fall under any of the categories listed above, keep in mind that Texas HB 300 must be completed within 60 days from when you start working and must be recertified at least once every two years. Thus now you know show should attend Texas HB 300 training.
