--- Quote ---ruthie72--The doc uses LogMeIn to remotely log in to his office computer from home. He sent me his user name and password so that I could log in from my home office and run numbers. It actually made me nervous, because I could see (and had access to) EVERYTHING on his desktop. Of course I only logged into Medisoft and I assumed someone in his office was watching me, but I was uncomfortable with having that much access. I have asked for limited access with my own user name and password as we move forward.

HIPAA requires that you have your OWN secure login and that goes for Windows (on the host computer) as well. That is not only a HIPAA requirement but it is a part of the audit trail requirements. If you are a Billing company, it's best to have your own acct with LogMeIn and then your own unique and secure login for their host computer.

I hadn't thought of that, but of course it would be a HIPAA requirement to have our own login and password (I need to reread those HIPAA rules). We have or are getting our own logins for each step of the way.

Thank you all so much. You are helping me so much!!!
Beth@CCR:
COngratulations to you!!!!!! THat is wonderful news!!! :)
PMRNC:
Please do more than read them. Every billing company needs a FULL compliance manual and P&P in place.. protects YOU!!! The separate login is not only a HIPAA requirement but it also protects the audit trail which is critical when there is a third party involved!!
