If you have a fully-funded insurance plan and all you do is enroll/terminate employees and get no more than summary information from the health care provider, then you do not have to be HIPAA compliant. HIPAA is relevant to self-funded plans when you are administering claims and privy to more than just summary information.

I contacted the Department of Health and Human Services (866-627-7748) and they were very helpful with the questions I had. Or you can check out the website for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Boy that's good news. Thanks for the advice and referral. From the information above I'm assuming the questions asked on the application about medical are not considered protection information?

Medical screening went away with the first part of HIPAA back in 1997 for group health insurance. Are you enrolling people in individual health insurance?

bgreene · January 2004

No it's group coverage. Not medical screening - just questions on the enrollment forms that are asked.

I receive daily e-mails from benefitslink and they had a link to this article, which talks about the requirement for small businesses to comply with HIPAA (one "P", not two!) and also provides a link to earlier articles that identify the steps required. Hopefully this will help!
