Compliance

The administration of the University of New England is strongly committed to promoting and supporting employee compliance with all federal, state, and regional laws and regulations.

Institutional Compliance

The 成人大片Institutional Compliance program is intended to provide all employees of 成人大片with policies, procedures, informational resources, and links to training that promote law-abiding and ethical actions in all workplace conduct. This program is also designed to prevent, detect, and eliminate regulatory violations, fraud, and abuse if they should exist with the University system.

Employee Compliance

As a 成人大片employee, you are expected to be familiar with the regulatory and ethical conduct responsibilities of your specific position within the 成人大片system.

HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its implementing regulations apply to individuals and organizations meeting the HIPAA definition of 鈥淐overed Entities.鈥 These covered entities include group health plans, health care providers who conduct certain transactions electronically, including but not limited to transmissions of health care claims 鈥 health care payments, enrollment in a health plan, referral authorizations, and health care clearinghouses. Although 成人大片does not primarily or solely engage in any of these activities, some units within the University perform functions that bring them within the definition of a covered entity under HIPAA.

成人大片performs both non-covered and covered entity functions to carry out its educational mission by providing health care in different contexts. HIPAA allows an entity that engages in limited HIPAA-covered functions to designate itself as a hybrid entity. A hybrid entity is a single legal entity that performs both covered entity functions and non-covered entity functions. The HIPAA regulations and requirements only apply to the covered entity components.
