Penalties for Violations of Health Plan of Nevada, Inc.’s (“HPN”)
and Sierra Health and Life Insurance Company, Inc.’s (“SHL”)
@YourService Terms of Use
1. As stated in the @YourService Terms of Use Acknowledgement Form, @YourService Users
(collectively “Users” and individually a “User”) are prohibited from accessing @YourService for any
purpose that is not job-related. Users are also prohibited from sharing and/or disclosing their unique
@YourService User ID (“User ID”). A violation of the Terms of Use will result in temporary
suspension or termination of system access privileges as outlined below.
(a) Users are prohibited from using @YourService to access their own Protected Health
Information (“PHI”) or that of a family member, co-worker or any other individual other than
for job purposes and must not ask a co-worker to do so either. A violation of this Term will
result in immediate termination of some or all of the User’s system access privileges. If more
than one User was involved, each User’s system access privileges will be terminated.
(b) An initial violation of the Terms of Use by an individual User which upon investigation is found
to have resulted from an honest error made in good faith and that does not constitute a
violation described in (a) above will not result in deactivation of the User’s ID or termination of
the User’s system access privileges. A second violation by the same User will result in
∗
temporary deactivation of the User’s ID, which may not be reactivated for a period of at least
one (1) month. A third violation will result in termination of the User’s system access
privileges.
(c) Each User is required to have his/her own unique @YourService User ID and password.
Users are prohibited from sharing and/or disclosing their User ID. If a User is found to have
shared or disclosed his/her User ID or used another User’s ID, the involved Users’ system
access privileges will be terminated.
2. If an Account Administrator is found to have created an additional User ID or re-activates a User ID
for any User whose system access privileges were temporarily suspended or terminated, the Account
Administrator’s access privileges for creating and editing account profiles will be revoked and the
provider will be required to designate another Account Administrator.
3. If any single User has had more than one violation of the Terms of Use in a calendar year or more
than one User from the same provider office is found to have violated the Terms of Use in a single
quarterly audit period, the provider will be required to submit a Corrective Action Plan (“CAP”) to
HPN/SHL Provider Services which should include, at a minimum, training for all employees on the
@YourService Terms of Use. The provider will be required to submit a brief description of the
training along with a list of all individuals in attendance to Provider Services.
4. If the Account Administrator fails to respond to an audit request within 14 days from the date of the
initial request, the User ID under investigation will be de-activated until a response is received and a
determination is made as to whether or not a violation occurred.
∗
The Account Administrator is solely responsible for requesting reactivation of a User ID from HPN/SHL Provider Services.
