Why Physician Groups need Ntracts Compliance

 

From managing HIPAA requirements to the laws unique to mental and behavioral health facilities, like the MHPAEA, Ntracts Compliance will make sure your organization is always in compliance and meets the highest standards of care. Here are some of just a few of the laws we’ll help you navigate.

Regulations and accreditations to watch for:

  • Mental Health Parity and Accreditation Equity Act (MHPAEA).
  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
  • Substance Use Disorder Confidentiality Regulations.
  • Medicaid and Medicare Laws.
  • Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law.
  • Grant and Funding Regulations.

HIPAA for Behavioral Health

 

HIPAA compliance in behavioral health clinics emphasizes safeguarding patient privacy, especially for sensitive mental health records. Clinics must implement strict confidentiality measures and adhere to both federal and state regulations to protect patients' health information and rights.

MHPAEA for Behavioral Health

 

Adhering to the MHPAEA requires ensuring that health plans offer equal coverage for mental health and substance use disorders as they do for physical health services, eliminating disparities in treatment limitations, and financial requirements.

340B for Behavioral Health

 

Compliance with 340B program requirements for purchasing drugs at reduced prices involves maintaining accurate records, preventing diversion of drugs to ineligible patients, and ensuring that savings are used to expand patient services.
