The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH or “The Act”), of 2009 (ARRA), encourage the use of health information technology by endorsing several incentives.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Electronic health records (EHR) systems among health care providers has increased but, this diminishes privacy and security regulations under (HIPAA).&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p /&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana;"&gt;Now this electronic health information sharing will be subject to much stricter guidelines.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Penalties for HIPAA violations range from $100 to $50,000 per incident for businesses in non-compliance. And civil penalties (placed upon employee breaches) will be strict and hefty as well.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Yes employers as well as employees have to be very aware and careful with PHI!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p /&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana;"&gt;How can you get your Risk Management / HI TECH Law requirements in place properly and effectively?

&lt;/span&gt;I’ve researched and developed HIPAA &amp;amp; OSHA training materials for years.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And I love this one, because it is so user friendly:&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Dental Enhancement’s &lt;a href="http://dentalenhancements.com/riskmanagementmadeepacket.aspx"&gt;Risk Management made Easy™&lt;/a&gt; packet &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;is a 15 page downloadable PDF that is organized, easy to understand and even easier to fill-out to make it customized to your dental office.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;Some websites are charging upwards of $400 for this info:&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;YIKES!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The packet does take some time to research and write, make sure you choose one for under $100, anything more is highway robbery!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;OK, I’ll admit its boring complicated and seems that so much crazy paper works needs to be done to support proper OSHA compliance.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But if you hook-up with the right support….your Dental OSHA Training and Dental HIPAA Training will be a breeze!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p /&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;I guess I have a pretty good understanding about how much time the average dental professional can put into their OSHA duties.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;You watch and ask us questions, and trainier review your completely completed materials!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;(Oh, when you order OSHA made Easy™ products they are custom-made and then send them to you well in advance of your training date.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;

Aside from being responsible to protect Patient Health Information, (HIPAA) now healthcare &amp;amp; dental offices, will be required to safeguard against Identity Theft. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This will apply to suspected stolen credit cards, checks and insurance IDs in an effort to obtain healthcare services, goods or insurance reimbursements. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Maiandra GD;"&gt;What does this mean?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In short, that your office needs to have a &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;written&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Identity Theft Prevention Program in place that will clearly define how your team will react in the event that a bogus credit card or check gets presented for dental payment (services or homecare goods).&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Other Identity Theft may present itself in the form of Insurance IDs in an effort to obtain dental care or reimbursement of claim money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Maiandra GD;"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Red Flag Rules&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are ingeniously designed to help protect: the victim of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;the missing credit cards, the credit card institutions, insurance companies but most importantly &lt;i&gt;YOU&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;By planning detection and prevention of bogus payments, you’ll prevent big dollar losses within your business! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Maiandra GD;"&gt;Let’s say a new patient (or even a patient-of-record) comes to your office and attempts to pay for their dental work with a stolen credit card or a check that seems suspicious.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What would you do? Take it anyway?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Accept it and worry about it later? What if the work was already complete? &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;What if they just leave and disappear?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What if a patient goes as far as to present false insurance information in an effort to obtain discounted work or even accept reimbursements?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sounds strange and far fetched but, its happening more often than you might think. And these new &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Red Flag Rules&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; will help curb the losses before they hit you!&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Things that might tip you off:&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Patient fumbles with spelling and dates pertaining to their identity, patient prefers you verify insurances later, patient presents with no ID, patient has a single check and no other ID. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Maiandra GD;"&gt;What’s required?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Understanding a &lt;b&gt;17-page Government Issued Guideline&lt;/b&gt;, full of definitions and requirements intended to help &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;you to compile your plan but it’s intense!&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;You’ll have to dissect and decipher the definitions and requirements, write your plan identifying potential fraudulent activity within your dental office, train your team on what to do and implement it when suspicion knocks.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If this sounds cumbersome and painful, here’s a simpler more painless solution.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Click onto this link: &lt;a href="http://www.dentalenhancements.com/"&gt;http:// www.dentalenhancements.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Maiandra GD;"&gt;DentalEnhancements.com has a pre-formatted, no non-sense &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Red Flag Rule Packet&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that will reveal strategies to insulate your practice from fraud.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Best news, it’s simple to use the entire packet is only $60!&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once you receive the packet, simply have a brief team meeting to “fill-in-the-blanks” and voila!&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Your &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Red Flag Rule Written Plan&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is complete and ready to follow.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Maiandra GD;"&gt;The Federal Trade Commission had originally issued enforcement of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Red Flag Rules&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to become effective May1, 2009 but with the magnitude of educating healthcare providers of the rules, the deadline for full enforcement is now extended to November 1, 2009.
