Post & Schell, in collaboration with Kroll Fraud Solutions, presented a free webinar examining the crucial changes and updates to the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules included in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued by the Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on July 8, 2010. Post & Schell's Steve Fox and Vadim Schick highlighted the key provisions in the NPRM, including:
- New restrictions on use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) for marketing, fundraising, and other commercial purposes
- Providing patients with e-copies of their PHI
- Extension of HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules to business associates
- Effect of new rules on business associate agreements
In addition, our guest presenter for this webinar, Alex Ricardo, CIPP of Kroll Fraud Solutions, discussed the practical implications of this new set of regulations on covered entities and business associates, including:
