Final HIPAA portability regulations clarified

|
On December 30, 2004, the U.S. Department of Labor, IRS, and CMS issued long-awaited, final HIPAA portability regulations. These final regulations vary, in specific ways, from the 1997 interim regulations, and therefore are critical for all benefits specialists and HR professionals to understand. Failure to comply with these newly revised regulations can lead to regulatory fines, negative publicity for your organization - even to lawsuits.
By listening to this audio conference on CD, you and/or your benefits specialists will learn:
- Precisely how the new, final regulations clarify and provide new rules regarding HIPAA's portability provisions. (All HR and benefits professionals MUST fully understand how these new changes modify the 1997 interim regulations);
- How the final new regulations clarify and revise crucial HIPAA portability definitions (including how a "dependent" and "pre-existing condition" now are legally defined);
- What your new HIPAA-portability notice and disclosure obligations are, including those pertaining to pre-existing condition exclusion notices and the Certificate of Creditable Coverage;
- What the law now says you must know about special enrollment requirements and excepted benefits.
Because "Final HIPAA Portability Regulations Issued" is an audio seminar on CD, you enjoy:
- Fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time lost.
- No travel-related expenses or complications.
- The perfect way to train as many employees as you like - for just $187.
