Bryant Walker, CMC, CHBC, President of Medicus Billing and Consulting, Inc. "HBMA understands that medical billing and revenue cycle management companies operate in a complex, highly regulated profession, fraught with high consequences for fraud, waste and abuse. By achieving HBMA compliance accreditation, Medicus Billing and Consulting, Inc has demonstrated by independent evaluation that their practices surpass federal requirements to protect confidential patient medical information, secure their data systems, and prevent fraud," said Jennifer Hicks, president of HBMA. The HBMA Compliance Accreditation Program is the result of the RCM industry coming together within HBMA to establish a process to independently assess the participating company's program to fulfill its obligation to meet regulatory requirements. The HBMA Compliance Accreditation Program assesses compliance with HIPAA and with Health and Human Service Office of Inspector General compliance standards on fraud, waste and abuse; the Stark Law, which is designed to prevent conflicts of interest by medical providers in their prescribed patient care; federal Anti-kickback law; and the OIG work plan. The assessment under the HBMA Compliance Accreditation Program includes a comprehensive evaluation of the policies and practices of RCM companies with respect to employee training; security risks, including the security of confidential patient health information; The program was announced in April 2018 and was officially launched in October 2018 after beta testing by four HBMA member companies. Since that time, 30 companies have achieved HBMA compliance accreditation. http://www.hbma.org End
