  • Title: Getting ready for identity theft rules: creating a prevention program for your medical practice.
    Author: Cascardo D.
    Journal: J Med Pract Manage; 2009; 25(2):131-3. PubMed ID: 19911551.
    Abstract:
    Identity theft worries have found their way into medical practices. By August 1, 2009, all "creditors" must have a written program to prevent, detect, and minimize damage from identity theft. Any medical practice that bills patients is considered a creditor. Like HIPAA, these new Red Flag guidelines will serve to protect your practice from lawsuits as well as protect your patients from identity theft of their financial, personal, and medical information.
