The Federal Trade Commission’s new fraud detection rule, the “red flag” identity theft rule, does apply to many healthcare providers, notwithstanding their compliance with the HIPAA privacy rule, as the FTC has explained in correspondence with the American Medical Association, which sought an exemption for its members. Under the FTC rule, certain “creditors” are required to implement prevention programs that look for patterns, practices, and activities that are “red flags” for possible identity theft. These programs are to include updates and measures to respond to red flags that are found so that the healthcare provider can ensure it is protecting against medical identity theft.

The Knowledge Congress is assembling a distinguished group of government officials and compliance experts to help healthcare companies comply with the new rules. The panelists will share their expertise in a LIVE two-hour Webcast.
