This 90-minute webinar will discuss how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) can get their HIPAA house in order before an audit.
It will also address changes under the Omnibus Rule, new congressional mandates, and any other applicable updates for 2023 and beyond along with changes relating to Covid and Information Blocking under the Cures Act (do’s and don’ts).
There are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days – we will speak to the most common violations and fines – and how to best avoid fines and headaches. The session will include detailed discussions on the audit process and some current events regarding HIPAA cases (both in courtrooms and from live audits).
The speaker will use specific scenarios from over 20 years of experience working as an outsourced compliance auditor and an expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information. More importantly, she will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.
