In late January 2013, the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) shared a comprehensive summary of the Omnibus Final Rule on HIPAA/HITECH composed by Poyner Spruill, Attorneys At Law. We also offer other resources to help our members comply with these regulations. The deadline for compliance is September 23, 2013, unless your current Business Associate Agreement (BAA) expires at a later date.

To ensure that you and your practice are prepared, the NCMS PractEssentials Program is offering a two part informational webinar about HIPAA on May 9, 2013 and May 23, 2013. The webinars will be presented by Elizabeth Johnson, Partner at Poyner Spruill. Registration for the first webinar will automatically register for the second webinar. Register online.
