Medical identity theft: What you don't know could destroy you

This webinar will help you understand the basics of identity theft, highlight ways in which identity theft happens, how to reduce exposure, as well as integrate into a well designed compliance program that strengthens the company's ability to grow and meet critical privacy laws.

Why Should You Attend:

Early this year, the Identity Theft Resource Center produced a survey showing that medical-related identity theft accounted for 43 percent of all identity thefts reported in the United States in 2013, affecting almost 1.8 million Americans. HHS can impose a civil fine of between $100 and $50,000 for each failure of a business, institution or provider to meet privacy standards, up to a maximum of $1.5 million per year.

This webinar will provide the basic building blocks you will need to develop & maintain your company’s precious commodity, your customer or patient’s identities and their good will. It will also cover the practical requirements and operations, principles of compliance and the basic elements that every business has to have to reduce civil and criminal liabilities and economic sanctions.
