Wednesday, April 06, 2005After falling out of a delivery truck, about 3,000 itemized patient statements from Lakewood and Marymount hospitals, part of the Cleveland Clinic Health System, blew high in the wind near East Ninth Street and Superior Avenue. The statements, which included patient names, addresses, insurance information, admission and discharge dates, physician names and billing information, were on their way to be stuffed into envelopes, said Angela Calman, a Clinic spokeswoman. Wonder if HIPAA makes exceptions for acts of God? And why on earth can't these things be submitted electronically? Or at least stuffed in the envelope at the same place they're printed? posted by Sydney on 4/06/2005 08:15:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
