Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Office of Inspector General (OIG) is a requirement for ophthalmology practices. Programs to help businesses comply involve reviewing current policy manuals and protocols, essential forms, employee training and annual Security Risk Analyses.
