April 14th is the day by which virtually all group health plans will have to be in compliance with HIPAA's Privacy Regulations. This teleconference will address the key actions that employers will have to take in the next few weeks to come into compliance.

Topics Include:
  • Which employers are subject to these requirements?
     
  • What 5 things must employers do now to come into compliance?
     
  • What are the biggest problems facing small employers?
     
  • How should we handle complaints?
     
  • How can you help your employees and still be compliant?
  • What are business associates and why do we need a special contract?
     
  • Insurance, self-funding and stop loss: does it make a difference?
     
  • What are the penalties and what enforcement action has been taken so far?
     
  • As if privacy was not enough, what should we be doing about security?
