When you handle protected health information, “we didn’t know” is not a defense.

Third-party billing companies sit on some of the most sensitive data in healthcare and regulators are paying closer attention than ever. In this session, attorney Lori-Ann Rickard cuts through the HIPAA rulebook to explain what the law actually requires of billing companies and the practices that partner with them: business associate agreements, breach notification, safeguarding patient records, and the everyday habits that keep you out of trouble. You’ll leave with a clear, plain-English picture of your obligations and practical steps you can put in place right away.
