HIPAA Phase 2 Audits –An Insiders Perspective

• Practice managers and compliance officers have been receiving HIPAA audit letters and calls and it is getting most of them to be worried and nervous. Most of these people have been calling me endlessly to try and get a grip on the audit proceedings. For this reason, I will be speaking about real life audit scenarios conducted by the Federal government, these scenarios include Phase 2 audits and everything else that follows. I will talk in detail about the different risks of fines that you are likely to face.
• This webinar conference will focus on audit issues and address the different ways that compliance officers and practice managers need to adopt in order to be ready for the imminent audits. The major changes concerning the Omnibus rules and other 2017 updates will also be discussed.
• The aim of this conference is to educate and inform every one concerned about the different risks and changes that are to be expected during the 2017 HIPAA audits. In this conference, I will also cover the myths and realities concerning the HIPAA laws. There are so many misconceptions about these rules and some of the myths often get practice managers in trouble during audits. I will uncover the myths during this webinar and reveal to you the realities as related to this law.
• This webinar will also focus on the risk factors for lawsuits against wrongful disclosures of PHI and how patients use these laws to target practices. Real life cases that I have been part of will be discusses throughout the webinar.
