FIRST TIME TAUGHT FOR GEORGIA - BY HIPAA COMPLIANCE SERVICES-NEW MATERIAL!

Length: 45 min.

Marketing bullet points:

·         Never taught before/new critical topics

·         Now includes the Security Rules

·         Security rules are mostly met by writing excellent Policies and Procedures (even more so than installing new technology!)

·         Here is the Willful Neglect problem, starting at $50,000.

The established HIPAA definition of willful neglect is “That which the doctor knew, or should have known, and did not do.”

In categories other than ‘willful neglect’ the fines are much less or none at all.

You need to get out of that category.

Webinar Number TWO:

Length: 45 min.

Marketing bullet points:

·       If you are not distributing the new NOTICE OF PATIENT PRIVACY POLICY then you are in violation of HIPAA and likely fall into the category of willful neglect since the law was passed January 25 of 2013 and allowed you until September 23 to become compliant. This means minimum $50,000 fines.

·       If you have not undertaken to update your Business Associate Contracts with all identifiable business associates (by the new definition) you are also in violation.

·       These rules were proposed to cover areas of concern where large numbers of breaches and inappropriate handling of PHI (patient health information) are occurring. They were structure to be more strict and more enforceable.

·       CMS has recently hired the firm of Figliozzi and Company to conduct random audits.

Webinar Number THREE:

Length: 45 min.

Marketing bullet points:

·         Never taught before/new critical topics .

·         Recently reports have been received relative to Medicare requiring that doctors submit their HIPAA risk analysis ( relative to core objective number fifteen you attested to for check issuance) to get their meaningful use check from the government. More disturbing are the requests stating they will TAKE BACK the check if they do not receive a copy of the HIPAA risk analysis!! …and CHECKLISTS are NOT adequate for core objective number 15!

·         There have even been reports of checklists being specifically requested and then the doctors being told that was not adequate and to submit their entire risk analysis.
