Upcoming Changes with HIPAA -2020
Details
Overview:
This lesson will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA is now fully enforced and the government is not using kid gloves any more.
It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2019 and beyond. There are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days.
I will speak on specific experiences from over 17 years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on HIPAA cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health
information. More importantly I will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.
Why you should Attend:
- Be prepared for the ever changing landscape with HIPAA
- This once rarely enforced law has changed and you need to know what's going on!
- Protect your practice or business!

We will be discussing some of the changes taking place in Washington with the Health and Human Services in regards to the enforcement of the HIPAA laws already on the books. I will go over some of the new changes affecting covered entities and business associates.
