Malpractice Insurance

Malpractice Insurance for Licensed Clinical Social Workers: Occurrence andClaims Made Coverage

There are two categories of malpractice insurance for licensed clinicalsocial workers, i.e., occurrence coverage or claims made coverage. As ageneral rule, the occurrence coverage form offers superior protection, butit can be somewhat more expensive than the claims made coverage form.

The Fundamentals of HIPAA

Privacy, Security and Electronic Data Transfer in Clinical Settings:
What We Need to Know

.

http://www.clinicalsocialworkassociation.org/clinical-practice/hipaa

.

t has been seven years since the Federal Government enacted the HealthInsurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996's privacyregulations. When the privacy regulations first went into effect, theClinical Social Work Association conducted a series of regional trainingsacross the country to help practitioners understand what the regulationswere and how they affected practice in each state. In the five years sincethese regulations were enacted, many practitioners have joined the fieldand have little or no awareness of how HIPAA may or may not affect theirpractice. This article will cover the basics of the HIPAA Privacy and in alater article, the more recently enacted Security rules.

Title I of HIPAA provides continuation and portability of health insurancecoverage. This allows employees the ability to continue their health carebenefits when they are no longer employed. This part of HIPAA was enactedsoon after it was passed in the mid-1990s and continues today. Title II,the "Administrative Simplification" provisions of HIPAA mandate a federalregulatory scheme governing the privacy, security, and electronic transferof health care information. It is Title II that we are concerned about inthis article.
