as a medical biller what steps should you take if you believe a patients privacy has been compromised

Under privacy legislation, health service providers in the private sector can only use or disclose their patients information for main reason it was initially collected except where patients consent to their information being used for another purpose.
For patient privacy you are probably referring to the federal Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA). As far as protecting a patients insurance coverage, HIPAA does not specifically serve that function.
