About this Course
This course delivers a HIPAA refresher and update for anyone who falls under the Business Associate category. It's tailored for the needs of answering services, medical billing, medical transcription, software/IT companies, marketing agencies, cleaning services, medical device manufactures, legal services, consultants, and similar services.
We'll go back over the essential information you need for compliance with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), then look at the changes brought by the 2021/2022 updates for the ONC 21st Cures Act Final Rule and the CMS Final Rule.
The Omnibus Final Rule had a big impact on Business Associates' HIPAA compliance liabilities. To avoid potential civil and criminal penalties, it's critical that Business Associates understand these changes.
If you've never taken our HIPAA for Business Associates course, you need to complete that course first. This is a refresher/update only.
You'll get a certificate of completion to print for your records, as well as 0.1 IACET CEUs.
