This advanced webinar provides an overview of the federal regulatory process of notice and comment rulemaking that creates the HIPAA rules for covered entities.  We next focus on the history of HIPAA and its lasting legacy as amended from time to time.  This webinar focuses on HIPAA as applied to the individual health care practitioner, who is a covered entity.

Health care practitioners need to know the top issues currently in HIPAA compliance so as to follow federal and state law, where applicable.  With the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) promulgating frequent updates to HIPAA, this webinar will skim over the interaction of federal laws with those state laws, especially state licensure laws of the health care professional.

From years of research, reporting, and writing by the HHS, the remainder of the webinar will detail the top Frequently Asked Questions health care practitioners need to know.

Erase the fear, uncertainty, and doubt about what specifically you need to know about the top issues of HIPAA compliance today’s health care practitioners face.
