Recorded Webinar @ All Day
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 directs the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop and implement regulations to protect the Privacy and Security of individually identifiable health information. HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) administers and enforces HIPAA Rules. Some violations of HIPAA Rules carry criminal penalties. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces HIPAA criminal violations.
While the worldwide pandemic has prompted some relaxation of HIPAA requirements in specific circumstances to ease the provision of medical services while preserving social distancing requirements and addressing emergency vaccination needs, enforcement of HIPAA has continued. According to the new HIPAA Safe Harbor Law, meeting compliance requirements can minimize potential penalties.

Why Should You Attend:
Preparing for a HIPAA Audit is one of the best ways to respond to any enforcement action, and going through an internal HIPAA Audit will help you find issues before they become problems that can lead to penalties. New guidance from HHS about the liability of Business Associates for compliance makes it more evident what Business Associates are liable for and what responsibilities for HIPAA compliance remain in the Covered Entities’ hands. Covered Entities and Business Associates must be prepared for the enforcement distinctions and responsibilities.
