HIPAA Compliance

MEBS takes pride in its attention to the privacy concerns of its clients and their employees. MEBS works diligently to protect the individually identifiable health information of the employees of its client plans.

MEBS works with its client health plans to achieve and maintain compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security regulations. MEBS has available, through its HIPAA Compliance Kit, sample documents to assist health plans with HIPAA compliance, including a Notice of Privacy Practices, forms for employees’ use in exercising their individual rights, and authorization forms. MEBS responds to individuals exercising their individual rights with regard to their protected health information in conjunction with its clients’ health plans.

Summary Plan Descriptions

ERISA requires almost every employee benefit plan to have a summary plan description (SPD) and to furnish copies to each individual entitled to the benefit. The Department of Labor indicates that the SPD is the primary vehicle that informs the participants and their dependents about their benefits, as well as their rights, under the employee benefit plan.

Many insurance companies only provide a benefit description, not the required summary plan description. The summary plan description is the responsibility of the employee benefit plan. Let MEBS lend their expertise and their compliance reputation to you and allow us to provide you with an all inclusive SPD that not only is a valuable tool to your employees, but a valuable compliance tool for your organization.
