HIPAA 2019 - What is New?

         This 90-minute webinar on New HIPAA Changes and Updates for 2019 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, Trump administration, and any other applicable updates for 2019 and beyond you need to be aware of. There are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days – we will speak to the most common violations and fines – and how to best avoid fines and headaches.

         Mr Tuttle will speak on specific experiences from over 20 plus years of experience in working as an outsourced compliance auditor, expert witness on multiple HIPAA cases, and thoroughly explain how patients are now able to get cash remedies for wrongful disclosures of private health information. More importantly, Brian will show you how to limit those risks by simply taking proactive steps and utilizing best practices.
