8 Covered Entity? Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) means an entity that has been certified by the Authority to provide coordinated and integrated health services. CCO CONTRACT Exhibit E.6 HIPAA Compliance The parties acknowledge and agree that each of OHA and the Contractor is a covered entity for purposes of privacy and security provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the federal regulations implementing the Act (collectively referred to as HIPAA). OHA and Contractor shall comply with HIPAA to the extent that any Work or obligations of OHA arising under this Contract are covered by HIPAA. Contractor shall develop and implement such policies and procedures for maintaining the privacy and security of records and authorizing the use and disclosure of records required to comply with this Contract and with HIPAA. 15 CURRENT CHALLENGES 16 8
9 HIPAA Information sharing for improved care (authorized by ORS ) A CCO, its provider network and programs administered by DHS for adults and persons with disabilities must share member information for purposes of: service and care delivery, coordination, service planning, transitional services and reimbursement, improving the safety and quality of care, lowering the cost of care, and improving the health and well being of the CCOs members. 17 HIPAA (cont.) Information may be shared within the CCO and the CCO provider network for the purpose of allowing the CCO to provide whole person care. Information that may be shared without member authorization includes diagnosis of HIV, other physical health diagnoses and mental health diagnoses. Information about members may be shared between CCOs, OHA and DHS for the purpose of administering the laws of Oregon. 18 9
10 HIPAA (cont.) In network provider mandate for information sharing (authorized by SB 1580 (2012)) Except for psychotherapy notes, protected health information MUST be disclosed by health care providers participating in a CCO without member authorization: To other health care providers participating in the CCO for treatment purposes, To the CCO for health care operations and payment purposes, permitted by ORS ; and To public health entities as required for health oversight purposes. 19 HIPAA (cont.) But: CCOs and their providers must comply with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 (authorization needed for disclosure of treatment records of substance abuse treatment providers). Mandated disclosures under state law do not override the federal protections for drug and alcohol records found in 42 CFR Part 2 or for educational records
