Don't Forget: Red Flag Rules Take Effect August 1
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has implemented a new regulation known as the Red Flag Rule, which requires “creditors” – including many physicians – to develop and implement identity theft detection and prevention programs by August 1, 2009. CMA has published a toolkit to help physicians and their staff understand the scope and requirements of the Red Flag Rule.
The toolkit provides guidance on designing and implementing an identity theft detection and prevention program for the physician practice. It also explains how the Red Flag Rule interacts or overlaps with other legal requirements governing the safeguarding of patient information, particularly the federal Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
CMA’s Red Flag Rules Toolkit is free to members at the members-only website.
Members can also view CMA's Red Flag Rules webinar on-demand in the webinar archives at the members-only website.
