Question: You are a healthcare provider. You are using a digital platform to input and store your patients’ protected health information. You were hacked after patient ceased being a patient. Are you immune from a lawsuit? Nope. A healthcare provider with Sandhills Medical Foundation discovered the hard way that per 42 U.S.C, 233(a) immunity from a lawsuit is only provided when alleged damages arise from the provision of healthcare- not when the damage (cyber breach in this case ) occurs after the services are terminated. Ms. Ford, a former patient sued alleging negligence, breach of implied contract, invasion of privacy, and breach of confidentiality for failure to protect her personally identifying information. HIPAA’s Breach Notification Rule requires covered entities to notify patients when their unsecured protected health information (PHI) is “breached,”—in a way that compromises the privacy and security of the PHI. Notification must occur “ without unreasonable delay” or up to 60 calendar days following the date of discovery. As required by section 13402(e)(4) of the HITECH Act, the Secretary must post a list of breaches of unsecured protected health information affecting 500 or more individuals. The HHS Secretary reports Healthcare breaches have exposed 385 million patient records from 2010 to 2022. Why are you, a healthcare provider, is using electronic healthcare records systems vs the paper files again? Just keeping You on Track DLH-Enterpises5150.com Case: Ford v Sandhills Medical Foundation, Inc. Court: US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Docket: 22-2268. Opinion Date: March 29, 2024.

Delve (YC W24) helps companies get HIPAA-compliant in days (not months!) with automated infrastructure, a step-by-step checklist, and real-time monitoring. HIPAA is a US federal law that sets standards for protecting sensitive health information. Most companies that handle health information in the US are required to comply with HIPAA, a process that can be long and expensive. Delve is the one-stop shop for HIPAA compliance, from deploying secure infrastructure to implementing legal best practices. Companies that use Delve to become HIPAA-compliant can also generate custom compliance reports to build trust with customers and demonstrate credibility. Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar are both MIT-trained with multiple years of experience in healthcare. The two were previous health tech co-founders who spent months (and tens of thousands of dollars) on becoming HIPAA compliant. Now, they’re streamlining this process for others. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gYDmcyY7. Congrats on the launch, Karun and Selin!

Hopefully all of this is already well-known, but here are some of Change Healthcare's own words on what the American Hospital Association has already labeled "the most serious incident of its kind": ON WHAT IS IMPACTED: Pharmacy claims transactions, provider claims processing, patient access and financial clearance, provider payments, and authorizations and medical necessity reviews. ON RECOMMENDED WORKAROUNDS: Use the payer’s portal to check claim status, as well as complete eligibility verifications and prior authorizations. If not available, call the payer. ON CLAIM SUBMISSIONS: A subset of payers, totaling 8% of Change Healthcare’s claim volume, are exclusive to Change. The other 92% have another workable clearinghouse that should allow providers to submit claims electronically. ON FUNDING: Providers can register for temporary funding assistance at https://lnkd.in/gcMYjsgn. ON TIMELINES: [Systems] will remain offline until we are certain we can turn them back on safely. I know this isn't much - but I hope it helps at least one person. Though I certainly also have my takes on what providers should be doing in the short and long term, I'm trying to keep things objective and actionable on this forum for now.
