This 90-minute webinar on "Upcoming HIPAA 2021: Changes and Updates" will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance offers) need to get their HIPAA house in order as HIPAA is now fully enforced and the government is not using kid gloves any more.

It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule, Trump administration, new congressional mandates, and any other applicable updates for 2021 and beyond.

There are an enormous amount of issues and risks for covered entities and business associates these days – we will speak to the most common violations and fines – and how to best avoid fines and headaches.
