Which federal regulation is NOT pertinent to billing companies?

The Occupational Safety and Health Act is not pertinent to billing companies as it primarily focuses on workplace safety and health standards for employees, ensuring safe working conditions in various industries, including healthcare facilities. While billing companies may operate within the healthcare sector, their primary function does not involve workplace safety measures or employee health regulations but rather managing and processing medical billing and coding, which relates more directly to other laws that govern healthcare compliance and billing practices.

In contrast, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act deals with patient privacy and the security of health information, the False Claims Act addresses fraudulent claims and billing practices in healthcare, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes provisions related to healthcare coverage and the regulation of health insurance practices, all of which are highly relevant to the operations of billing companies in the healthcare space.
