Privacy and Information Policy Consultant, Robert Gellman, to Share Knowledge on The Red Flag Rule for Healthcare at KC's Event.

(May 25, 2009) - The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcast announced today that Robert Gellman, Privacy and Information Policy Consultant will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webcast entitled: “The Red Flag Rule for Healthcare”. This 2-hour event is scheduled on July 15, 2009, Wednesday, at 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM ET.

The Federal Trade Commission’s new “red flag” identity theft rules raise particular concerns for healthcare providers who already must also comply with HIPAA privacy rules, and the FTC has turned down requests from the American Medical Association and American Hospital Association to exempt their members from compliance. Under the FTC rules, creditors are required to implement prevention programs that spell out how they will look for patterns, practices, and activities that are “red flags” for possible identity theft. These programs are to include “periodic assessments” and measures to respond to red flags that are found so that the healthcare provider can ensure it is protecting patient records from identity theft.

The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live webcast Series is assembling a distinguished group of government officials and compliance experts to help healthcare companies comply with the new rules. The panelists will share their expertise in a Live two-hour Webcast.
