HOW ROI WORKS
For any Provider the most likely opportunity for a breach of HIPAA compliance will occur during the Release of Information (ROI) fulfillment process. ROI is the one State and Federally mandated process that, if not performed to exacting standards, can expose Providers to potential HIPAA fines for breach of PHI confidentiality.
Few Providers collect all of the fees they are entitled to. Many Providers do not fully understand current ROI fee schedules established by individual State statutes. Even fewer understand the nuances of how to correctly apply ROI fee schedules to each request or which requests are truly billable or non-billable.
Many Providers utilize third party ROI service companies to fulfill their request obligations in order to unburden the office staff from the time and expense of performing this important task, and the ensuing headaches of adhering to HIPAA compliance. In exchange for providing ROI fulfillment services, ROI outsource service companies receive most or all of the entitled ROI fulfillment fees that would have been collected by the Provider, leading to the loss of a significant revenue stream to the Provider.
