Comply w/New Information Blocking Rule Mandate
IMPORTANT: Newly implemented federal Information Blocking rules went into effect on Oct 6th. These new rules dramatically expand the scope of how, when and to whom you allow access to medical records. Simply complying with HIPAA is no longer enough.
Not only do these new rules significantly expand what information must be made accessible, but they also mandate how, when and to whom you are required to supply access to medical records. These new rules also clearly spell out exceptions to access, as long as you meet all requirements.
The new Information Blocking rules are part of the Cures Act. Complying with these new requirements really isn’t an option. The federal government has made it clear that failing to do so can result in costly stressful audits and financial penalties of up to $1 million.
Thankfully, you don’t have to navigate these new Information Blocking requirements alone. Healthcare attorney, Amanda Waesch, Esq., has put together a 90-minute online training session that will walk you through exactly how to comply with this new federal mandate when granting access to medical records. By attending, you’ll receive actionable step-by-step strategies that will make it easier for you to comply with the complexities of this new rule.
Here are just some of the practical Information Blocking compliance strategies you’ll receive by attending this online expert-led training:
