| As of November 1, 2008 any organization that issues credit by providing services in advance of billing (this includes hospitals) must implement an identity theft prevention program to be in compliance with the Red Flags provisions of the new Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act or FACTA). Although enforcement actions will not begin until May 1, 2009, you may still have a liability for failing to comply by the November 1, 2008 date if an incident of identity theft occurs and you do not have a program in place to detect red flags and prevent identity theft. You need to prepare now.
The Identity Theft Red Flags rules impact a broad range of credit-issuing organizations, but in healthcare, you must account for unique, related regulations including HIPAA and EMTALA. This free webinar will focus on practical steps you can take to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of identity theft and compliance sanctions. The presentation will focus on:
- How HIPAA and EMTALA apply to the new Red Flags rules
- How compliance "triggers" apply to individuals
and organizations in healthcare
- Who in your organization will ultimately be held accountable
- Common mistakes in healthcare that lead to red flags compliance violations and identity theft
- How to establish the required policies for detecting red flags and preventing/mitigating identity theft
- How to develop your investigation protocols and policies
- Detailed examples of regulatory violations and best practice examples in detecting red flags and preventing identity theft
- Sample policies will be provided
