Why Should You Attend:

To explore what's new with HIPAA both from a regulation standpoint (new requirements) and an enforcement standpoint.

This once rarely enforced law has changed and you need to know what's going on! Protect your practice or business!

These day's trial attorney's pose a higher risk than the Federal government! What changes under the Biden administration and other congressional mandates can we expect?

What changes have occurred relating to COVID19 and HIPAA and will they be permanent?

What are the changes regarding the Cures Act and Information Blocking? State laws are now in place increasing liability for patient remedies! What factors might spurn a lawsuit or a HIPAA audit? …are you doing these things? Why are the Feds enforcing after all these years?

We will be discussing 2021 changes taking place in Washington with the Health and Human Services regarding the bipartisan backed enforcement of the HIPAA laws already on the books (as well as some detailed discussions on the audit process)

Topic Background:

The failure to comply with HIPAA regulations can result in substantial fines being issued – even if no breach of PHI occurs – while breaches can result in criminal charges and civil action lawsuits being filed. There are also procedures to follow with regards to reporting breaches of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and issuing HIPAA breach notifications to patients.

Ignorance of the HIPAA compliance requirements is not considered to be a justifiable defense against sanctions for HIPAA violations issued by the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Health and Human Services (OCR). The OCR will issue fines for non-compliance with HIPAA regulations regardless of whether violations are inadvertent or result from willful neglect.
