March 2009. 100,000 records stolen from Orthopedic Associates

March 2009. Evening TV News: "Local MD... medical records breach"

May 2009. TV News: "Local DPM...100's of records breached"

7 MILLION records were stolen in 2008. Imagine if you were next.

As of August 2009, you may have ALREADY been the next victim. If you are a participating provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield, you and 850,000 other doctors had their NPI, TIN and/or Social Security numbers stolen due to theft of a BCBS laptop (it was stolen from a car). For the full report, click HERE.

Now imagine how a patient whose identity has just been stolen feels. Upset. Violated. Afraid. Angry. No one should have to deal with the consequences of identity or medical identity theft. Not you. Not your family. Not your patients.

80% of medical identity theft is from insiders - employees, family and friends. The financial loss, legal exposure and public relations fall-out you and your practice will experience from identity theft is a high price to pay - if you didn't do everything you could to prevent it.

The FTC Identity Theft Law (The "Red Flag Rule") and the NEW, VERY STRINGENT HIPAA Privacy and HITECH (which used to be the HIPAA Security Rule) laws passed within the 2009 Economic Stimulus Bill (called "ARRA"), are attempts to slow the onslaught of Identity and Medical Identity theft in the U.S.

Healthcare practitioners must comply to the Red Flag Rule by November 1st, 2009. Much of the new HIPAA and HITECH law is already in effect.

Penalties for willful neglect of the new HIPAA / HITECH laws start at $10,000. Penalties and audits are now MANDATORY. It's not the old HIPAA anymore.

As of September 24, 2009, if your practice has a breach of 500 records or more, you MUST publish your name in major media in your town, and on the Health and Human Services website where your name will be publicly displayed as having had a breach. The average practice may lose 20% of its breached patient base in the public relations fall-out that ensues. In addition, a breach may trigger an audit and penalty for HIPAA Privacy violation.

The ONLY Complete HIPAA, HITECH and Red Flag Rule Toolkit on the Market for Healthcare Professionals

Where is your old HIPAA manual? We know where it is. It's on some shelf, never been read. Why? No one could understand it, much less actually comply to it. By national survey, over 98% of all physicians, specialists, dentists and chiropractors were not able to comply to 2002 HIPAA regulations because the manuals were incomprehensible. The only saving grace was that no one ever came to inspect the office.

ALL OF THAT IS CHANGED NOW. You actually have to comply to ALL of the HIPAA security and privacy rules (and much has changed within them).

The 2009 HIPAA, HITECH and Red Flag Rule ALL-IN-ONE Compliance Toolkit is the only Compliance Toolkit that has been written to be easily understood and implemented by staff. As important as compliance is, we know you're busy, the law is complicated, your reimbursement is dropping and this is the last thing you need on your plate. So...

For the first time in HIPAA history, an all-inclusive Toolkit that can actually be understood and used is available to put you in safe compliance in less time and at a lower cost than you could do yourself. The ALL-IN-ONE Compliance Toolkit is designed so that staff can understand and implement the Red Flag Rule, HIPAA and HITECH Security laws with little to no physician lost time and minimal decision-making. How?

The Red Flag Rule, HIPAA and HITECH laws all require written Risk Assessments for security, operations and privacy. We have comprehensive, practice-specific assessment checklists already done for you, with advice as to what may best serve your needs. Just check what applies. The FTC/HHS compliance step is done. And you'll know the real threats to theft within your practice.

The Rule requires written policies and procedures to address each risk. We've done that for you too. There's a policy already written for each risk on your Assessments. We've consulted healthcare practitioners for 25 years, so the policies in the Toolkit are also best practice. The FTC/HHS compliance step is done. And your practice is safer from identity theft and regulatory penalty.

Your staff must be trained CORRECTLY, or they might turn patients away unnecessarily (Red Flag Rule) or expose the practice to HIPAA penalty. We have a thorough SELF TRAINING process, with step-by-step guides, materials, tests and certificates. Staff can study ON THEIR OWN, turn in the test, and now you have evidence in their personnel file. Compliance with Documentation? Done. Educated staff? Done. Contracts, forms, letters and reports. All in the Toolkit. You're safely in compliance.

There are often complex decisions to be made. We provide guidance that can help you walk through otherwise complicated and technical decision-making for HITECH security compliance. Advice to make processes easier, online resources and references to help IT professionals or your staff navigate the murky waters is all in the Toolkit.

The All-In-One Compliance Toolkit is comprehensive and understandable, allowing for a level of compliance to the new regulations never before possible, at less cost and in less time than ever before. With the All-In-One Compliance Toolkit you'll have defensible protection from identity theft and regulatory audit penalty.

Keep your practice safe. Keep your patients safe.
