Friday Wellness Roundup: HIPAA Resource List

It’s one of the things we're asked about all the time Wellness Corporate Solutions: HIPAA. The federal health insurance law has all sorts of complicated ramifications on wellness programs.

By popular demand, here's an around-the-net roundup of some of the most useful HIPAA resources we've found.

• As you may know, earlier this year the Department of Labor issued a bulletin to provide guidance on what types of wellness programs must comply with HIPAA, and how the regulations should be applied. It comes complete with a 10-question HIPAA compliance checklist.
• The law firm White&Case breaks down the government HIPAA bulletin into (somewhat) simpler terms.
• HR Executive Online looks at how obesity and wellness initiatives relate to HIPAA.
• Sign up for free membership at Workforce Management and learn about the most common HIPAA privacy mistakes that employers make.

I hope it's useful to have all these resources in one place. And of course if you have any questions, drop us a line.

In good health,

Fiona
