Why You Should Purchase this CD:
HIPAA requires that, among other things, certain Protected Health Information be kept confidential by group
health plans, medical providers and related personnel. HIPAA and the guidance issued by the Department of Health
and Human Services impose extensive requirements that all health plan personnel must know and follow to comply with
this general mandate. Now, with rapidly approaching compliance deadlines and additional guidance - such as the new
security regulations - many employers must learn to comply or face potential penalties. Even employers with
fully-insured health coverage must comply if they offer a self-insured health plan, including most Flexible
Spending Account (FSA) programs. This employer-focused Health Plan HIPAA Privacy Teleconference provided in-depth coverage
of these requirements, as well as updates and new information for the "old pros".
Who Will Benefit:
Employee Benefits Managers, HR Directors, Insurers, Third Party Administrators, and all other employee benefits
professionals who are responsible for their employer's or client's compliance with federal law mandates for health.
