Course Overview

Since 1996, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has been a critical linchpin in maintaining security and privacy within the healthcare industry. 

The cyber threat landscape has evolved in numerous ways since then, and with it, the requirements for healthcare compliance have changed. These changes include the addition of new rules and more stringent enforcement of the HIPAA rules. 

In addition to these changing requirements and rules, the specifics of attaining and maintaining HIPAA compliance vary depending on your organization- this is especially true for healthcare business associates such as CPAs. 

Key topics discussed in this online course:

  • History of HIPAA law 
  • Defining HIPAA rules and terms 
  • Cases of HIPAA violations and enforcement 
  • Rules to implement HIPAA 
  • Demonstrating HIPAA compliance

In this CPE Business Law webinar, HIPAA for Business Associates like CPAs, we will discuss the specifics of HIPAA compliance for CPAs, including what actions are required to attain and maintain HIPAA compliance, the history of HIPAA and its sequential rules, and the risks of falling out of compliance.
