That’s where trusty Business Associates (BAs) step in, taking care of billing, document disposal, IT services, and more, ensuring that medical staff can focus on patients. But even reliable Business Associates need to find the right medical Sub-Business Associates. Unsure what that entails? Don’t worry, Abyde has you covered!
- Master of Organization: From scheduling appointments to filing insurance claims, Sub-Business Associates should possess laser-sharp organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail. Through these skills, administrative chaos can be conquered.
- Communication Champion: Clear and concise communication is the lifeblood of any healthcare setting. Your Sub-Business Associate needs to be able to communicate and understand healthcare. By understanding this complex industry and with regular communication, awesome Sub-Business Associates can foster trust and understanding at every turn.
- Problem-Solver Extraordinaire: Unexpected snags are inevitable. Sub-Business Associates should be natural problem-solvers, analyzing situations, making informed decisions, and finding efficient solutions.
- Tech Wiz: In today’s digital healthcare landscape, comfort with medical software, electronic health records, and other practice management tools is essential. Your Sub-Business Associates should be tech-savvy wizards, navigating complex systems with ease.
- Proactive Compliance: A stellar Sub-Business Associate is not only organized, but proactive and willing to learn the responsibilities of working in the healthcare industry. Every practice and organization with access to protected health information (PHI) plays a crucial role in keeping it safe and secure.
- Sub-Business Associates need to know the importance of HIPAA and have signed agreements that entail responsibilities and permissions. This agreement is a requirement of HIPAA.
- Thankfully, Abyde’s software simplifies this for you, with our soon-to-be-released HIPAA for Business Associates, which includes dynamically generated agreements, so all Business Associates can be on the same page.
- Sub-Business Associates should also ensure that their employees are properly trained. If a Sub-business associate does not train its employees, Abyde recommends that you do not work with them.
