HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability Act and Accountability.
By law, anyone that has access to PeopleSoft, OPF's, payroll information, leave donations/FMLA, and workman's compensation records must be HIPAA certified because we have access to PHI (Personal Health Information). Re-certification is required annually.
To receive your certification, please complete the HIPAA Training located on ETHOS. You will receive a certificate upon passing- provide a copy to your local HR Training Office/HIPAA privacy official. Your certification will also be recorded with Headquarters Benefits.
